Lloyd’s List has mentioned that “The Shipping Corporation of India has its own CSR strap line: "Transporting goods, transforming lives". It is an impressive sentiment, but SCI stood out this year as a company that was prepared to offer tangible examples of its commitment to corporate social responsibility and stick to an ambitious series of commitments despite tough economic conditions.

 

By dedicating 1% of net profits to CSR activities SCI has been able to support multiple projects including scholarships, training schemes, hospitals and regional flood protection work.

 

Our judges felt that the company's ongoing commitment to CSR was well deserving of the prize this year.”
