Corporate Social Responsibility

KARP proactively promotes public interest and honours a triple bottom line – People, Planet, and Profit. For us, Corporate Social Responsibility is derived from the personal experiences of our founder family and often exceeds what would be expected of just a good corporate citizen. As a responsible domain, we are committed to help build reputations and sustainability.

Our Family

We take care of our employees like one would for a family member, and it is for reasons like this and many more, that we are an employer of choice since 80’s where over 15% of our workers are third generation employees. Recognizing our workforce as our backbone, we provide world standard workplaces in terms of ergonomics, facilities and ambience. KARP undertakes continuous healthcare monitoring of employees and workplace. We also contribute in education fees and bear the entire schooling expenses of needy employees.

In Jasdan, our employees are provided free housing at Virani Nagar which is also facilitated with school, hospital, shopping complex and playgrounds amongst other things.

Society

Apart from looking after our own employees, we also hearten Animal Welfare initiatives in Surat & Mumbai. As a responsible diamantaire we are concerned about improving welfare and happiness of people. We indulge into various humanitarian activities undertaken by organizations like “Society Undertaking Poor People’s Onus for Rehabilitation” and “Narayan Seva Trust” helping handicaps and polio affected individuals in Gujarat.

We have recently made a substantial contribution for the installation of CCTV cameras in Surat city to control and discipline the rising vehicular traffic and ensure safety.
