Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility

Datamatics integrates social responsibility with business objectives to make these initiatives an integral part of the company's profitable growth. Over the years, the company has developed a thoughtful approach and attempts to address critical areas of impact to society at large. The Company drives its CSR initiatives through a corporate body named ‘ASHA’. Led by Senior Management, this initiative is promoted throughout the company. 

Towards its commitment to bring about a change in the critical areas, the Company has identified key focus areas, viz. Employability & Environment.

EMPLOYABILITY

To train and provide employment opportunities for physically challenged individuals and rural women, the Company has tied up with various institutions. Besides this, the company has a special "Knowledge Associate" initiative that opens up opportunities for individuals, who would otherwise be deprived of gainful employment opportunities.

The Knowledge Associate program provides employment opportunity to:

• Women who are unable to attend regular jobs due to family priorities but still need to supplement the family income. 
• Individuals with physical disabilities, who are unable to commute for regular employment, can however deliver good quality work if allowed to work from home. 
• Individuals in remote rural areas who do not have good employment opportunities in their towns and villages and are hence, forced by circumstances to migrate in large numbers to the cities. Our Knowledge Associate program allows such individuals to work from their own homes. This program has also created employment opportunities for wives of mine workers in some of India’s remote mining locations, who would otherwise have no employment opportunities

E-WASTE MANAGEMENT

Environment is another key focus area for Datamatics, whereby the company endeavors to contribute towards the development of a sustainable society. At Datamatics we understand the importance of reducing our carbon footprint. All of our people are committed and aligned to bring about change in their business practice and contribute in reduction of greenhouse emissions. 

Datamatics stands committed to follow the E-Waste management rule 2016 published by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoFF) and has a comprehensive e-waste management policy. 

RESPONSE TO COVID-19

Datamatics Partnered with the Wockhardt Foundation by supporting their Anaaj+ program and was able to help over 1000 families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic by providing them with groceries and hygiene essentials

During the COVID-19 pandemic, as migrants are dispersed in multiple regions of the country, Datamatics undertook the responsibility of helping the migrants stranded in Mumbai. As a part of our CSR initiative, we volunteered to help the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to help the migrants by setting up an emergency response center in two days and monitored the migrants across different regions in Mumbai to supply food to them
