CSR Projects That We are Planning.

Environmental issues related to gem industry are mainly soil erosion and sedimentation, destruction of river banks, ground water depletion and pollution of surface water bodies, causing damage to the public and the private property…etc.  In order to minimize the damage and risk that can be resulted due to the environmental issues, we are planning three campaigns.

·         Tree plantation

·         Workshop

·         Awareness programs.

Tree plantation

Planting trees can be one of the best things we can do for soil erosion. When we consider what trees do for the environment, they’re pretty amazing. They provide food and homes for squirrels and birds, shade for the forest floor (and for people!), and oxygen for the atmosphere — not to mention the fact that trees get rid of carbon dioxide (a major greenhouse gas) in the process of releasing oxygen. (Curriculum Guide, April 2010 )

Tree planting is something positive which we can do for the environment. It also makes good economic sense since trees provide jobs, add value to property, and protect and enhance the environment. In most cases, planting trees is also an unselfish act since the benefits will mostly be enjoyed by future generations.

Workshops

The workshop will educate people by involving them learn ways to implement environmentally-friendly strategies at their organization and save money. We thought why not introduce an element of environmental responsibility to managers and employees who work in the organization.

We are planning to organize a workshop for managers on 21^st of February and the technical staff on 28^th of February.

Awareness Programs

To come and employee interested in living sustainability beyond the workplace can choose to participate in the Environmental Awareness Program by extend employees learning opportunities outside of the workplace and in side of the workplace.

Employees in the organization have the unique opportunity to work with top staff, and companions create a vibrant, interesting, and fun community.

The Environmental Awareness Program is open to managers and employees of organization who concerned about environmental issues. The programming in this community will support learning on current issues and how organization affects our environment. (miami university, 2013)

We are planning to organize sustainability day, March, 01, 2013, to promote sustainable actions and concepts across organization.
