In Polaris, Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) or Corporate Citizenship
is not just an involvement in charitable or philanthropic
activities due to business responsibility but
our organization's conscious decision to support
our social, economic and ethical responsibilities.
CSR practice is embedded in our organisation culture
and is part of our way to give back to the society
where we live and owe our growth to.
Ullas Trust
Ullas Trust (Polaris’ CSR initiative) was started in 1997 by the Polaris employees, with an aim to integrate Polaris with a larger community and enable them to enjoy the bliss of working with young minds in the country.
The primary motive of Ullas is to recognize academic excellence in students from the economically challenged sections of our society and encourage the “Can do” spirit towards chasing their dreams and aspirations. Very early in its evolution, Ullas decided to focus its energies on students during the most vulnerable stage in their journey – adolescence! This would translate into students from Class (Grade) 9th to 12th.
It is this objective that Laser
Soft Info systems, a group Company of Polaris,
launched the initiative called 'Sampada' - involving
PWD (People with Disability) or Differently Abled
People (DAP) as we prefer to call them, into our
company's mainstream. Today, as an organization,
we have Differently Abled People as associates
(we refer to our 'employees' as associates) recruited
and performing across different levels in the
organization.
