Campaign: Health & Nutrition

In 2023, we strengthened our commitment to fighting hunger in Bangalore, India, through our partnership with the Bangalore Food Bank. Our efforts included various initiatives that collectively aimed to empower and support the local community.

Throughout FY2023, our employees contributed more than 100 hours of volunteer time at eight events with the Bangalore Food Bank. These efforts demonstrate our commitment to empowering and supporting our people, families, and communities by providing the necessary resources to help them thrive.

As part of our annual “Produce for Hunger” initiative held in October 2022 on World Food Day, we donated 1.1 tons of food to low-income schools and communities in Bangalore, India. 

Our culinary team conducted knowledge-sharing sessions at a local non-profit school for hospitality, empowering underprivileged young adults in Bangalore with skills for food industry careers. We also championed the Bangalore Food Bank’s School Kitchen Garden Program, teaching children about sustainable gardening and the farm-to-fork journey, fostering a deeper understanding of food security in the community.  

Our decade-long partnership with the Bangalore Food Bank reflects our commitment to helping local communities thrive through continuous support and innovative solutions.
