A growing trend among global brands is their increasing focus on social responsibility and commitment to sustainable development, which is now seen as a mark of excellence. According to Mallen Baker, a renowned writer, speaker, and CSR expert, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a strategic approach where companies manage their business operations to create an overall positive impact on society. By incorporating social, environmental, and ethical responsibilities into their corporate governance, businesses are ensuring their long-term success, competitiveness, and sustainability. CSR initiatives enable companies like AVARD Foundation to establish a prominent brand that resonates with key stakeholders such as customers, employees, government entities, and the general public, further enhancing their reputation and influence.
AVARD is an NGO for directly impacting the lives of more than 10+ communities in the remotest of villages and urban slums spread across Kerala
More than 80% of funding for our welfare projects comes from the CSR corporate support, and consequently the same standards of governance and efficiency, and the culture of excellence flow through our own operations
Being a little over a decade old, we have already been able to channelize sizeable resources from responsible corporate, individuals and funding organizations, aiming to achieve the highest Social Return on Investment (SROI)
When we partner with an organization, we strive to get it and its employees directly involved in our welfare initiatives, making them an active participant in the process of bringing change at the grassroots ,making us one of the best NGOs for CSR in India
