The principle of giving back to the society stems from our visionary founder Sir Shri Ram, so Social Responsibility is literally in our DNA! We at DCM Shriram have
stood by our legacy as a Socially Responsible citizen, helping our communities in times of this pandemic also.
Since this pandemic has caused an
unprecedented situation, it demands extraordinary efforts from our side. This requires every one of us to step up, volunteer and channelize our efforts to help the
communities in need.
‘WeVolunteer’ is the Employee Volunteering Program of DCM Shriram that has been designed with a philosophy to help keep the spirit of volunteering and
kindness alive because the world needs it now more than ever before. It will act as a bridge to maximize the impact of our employee volunteering activities in a
structured way and create a positive social impact.
