CSR Programs in India

Caterpillar believes in the Power of Responsibility. As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, Caterpillar India Pvt. Ltd. (CIPL) makes significant contributions to promote the health, welfare, and economic stability of the communities where we live and work. A number of initiatives are being carried out to improve the environment, increase access to clean water, quality education, sanitation and hygiene components, in order to make the communities more sustainable, and resilient.

Through the "Waterbody Conservation" program, CIPL CSR is currently working to reclaim more than 400 acres of polluted lakes, benefitting over 80,000 families in around 40 villages. In tandem with the Government of India's "Skill India mission", we aim to help fill the enormous skill gap. Under the "Education and Skill Development" program, young women and men from underprivileged families are provided training in operating and maintenance of heavy earth moving machine (HEMM). Similarly, through the "Learn and Earn Program" in our manufacturing facilities, we provide technical training with Diploma certification in Manufacturing Technology (DMT). So far, more than 1,500 families from economically disadvantaged sections have benefited from these interventions.

In addition, CIPL CSR provides infrastructure support to government schools, Anganwadis, and primary health centres to enhance community wellbeing and access to basic needs. And whenever a natural disaster like a flood or a cyclone strikes, we actively participate in relief and recovery efforts and provide aid and support to the most vulnerable and affected communities.
