The main objectives of FDC's CSR Policy are as follows:
The pandemic of Covid-19 brought an unprecedented requirement for support and help that the community demanded. FDC partnered with Mantra Foundation, an NGO that delivers 6000+ meals a day in various parts of Mumbai. With each meal, FDC supplied critical electrolytes and energy through a sachet of Enerzal.
Our Heroes were our emergency services professionals that worked relentlessly to keep the city moving and functioning while the pandemic crippled us. FDC made sure that our local police stations had the right energy to keep going and provided 300 packs of snacks on a daily basis to police stations in the vicinity.
