Inclusivity & Empowerment
In finding meaningful avenues of engagement with the families and children of St Jude ChildCare Centres, despite the physical distances, we realised that they have a thing or two to teach us about hope, positivity and resilience. We at Arcil remain inspired by them and are proud to extend our support to St Jude in their tireless and noble efforts to help these families and children battle cancer and emerge victorious. Our financial support to St Jude was established by supporting the Operations and Maintenance expenses for 12 families for a year at their biggest centre in India at Cotton Green which houses a total of 165 families.

Health & Sanitation
The pandemic affected us on three different scales in India; at a national, state and local level. As a responsible member of corporate India, we are stakeholders at each of these scales. At a national and state level the crisis was primarily affecting food security, adequate health care and economic stability. Our response to this crisis at a national level was a contribution of Rs. 1 Crore to the PM Cares Fund out of which our 260 employees voluntarily contributed Rs. 7 Lakh from their monthly salary.
