Corporate social responsibility policy

For us in the BK One Group, reaching out to underserved communities is part of our DNA. We believe in the trusteeship concept. This entails transcending business interests and grappling with the "quality of life" challenges that underserved communities face, and working towards ma king a meaningful difference to them.

At BK One we strive to develop and put scalable systems in place that help in developing a sustainable way of life for the weaker sections of society and raise the country's human development index

All projects are identified in a participatory manner, in consultation with the community, literally sitting with them and gauging their basic needs. We recourse to the participatory rural appraisal mapping process. Subsequently, based on a consensus and in discussion with the village panchayats, and other influential, projects are prioritized.

Arising from this the focus areas that have emerged are Education and espousing social causes. All of our community projects are carried out under the aegis of The BK One Centre for Community Initiatives and Rural Development
