Corporate Social Responsibility
A core guiding principle of the Lux Group is to make a difference in society by sharing our success and giving back in equal measure. At Lux Industries Limited, we recognise the need for sustained progress of the society to pursue long term goals that are beneficial for the community. During pilgrimages, the availability of basic resources such as food and drinking water is scarce. This predicament of the devotees embarking on religious journey is aided by Lux Industries providing clean drinking water and food. Lux Industries has also developed the Bangur Avenue Sansad Bhavan in Kolkata which is a 'Dharamshala' (rest house) for pilgrims where we provide free lodging, food and water.
Commitment To the Society
The Lux group is committed in sharing its business success with communities. The value of corporate citizenship is rooted in responsibility to society and polity therefore Lux adheres to the best industrial practices, adopting the best technologies and environment-friendliness. Some of the most important engagements for the Lux group have been through the installation of bins in various areas to make the environment clean and safe as a part of the Swacch Bharat Abhiyan. Lux also focuses on education, healthcare, rural infrastructure development, support for the socially and economically backward group, animal welfare, environmental protection and the promotion of traditional arts and culture. In keeping with these values, the company has built the Saraswati Sishu Mandir School at Bali (Murshidabad), to provide quality education to local children. The Company has also contributed towards building a residential school project for 1000+ underprivileged girls in Joka, West Bengal The company, through its CSR Trust, the Lux Foundation, carried out these projects in partnership and consultation with NGOs, registered trusts and Section 8 companies.
