Guided by Colgate's 2025 Sustainability & Social Impact Strategy, our CSR initiatives are helping children, their families, and the community to thrive, in line with India's requirements and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
With a dedicated ESG and CSR Committee (ECC) steering our efforts, we prioritize meaningful impact areas, evaluate programs rigorously, and craft annual action plans aimed at fostering long-term community well-being.
Our CSR initiatives majorly support the Bottom of the Economic Pyramid (BoEP) sections of society, and drive positive socio-economic and environmental impact through diverse community engagement activities.

We collaborate closely with government bodies and communities to ensure that our interventions are aligned with their priorities. Every project is backed by comprehensive analytics, guiding us to pinpoint the most pressing issues and tailor our interventions accordingly. This approach not only refines the programs but also enhances their effectiveness, ensuring that our efforts make a targeted and meaningful impact.
