CRISIL RE, the flagship programme for social impact and outreach in cities, leverages CRISIL’s vibrant workforce as agents of change in Ahmedabad, Chennai, Gurugram, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru. Used as a prefix, 'RE' is a simple but powerful idea that conveys the potential to alter the status quo.

CRISIL RE is committed to environment conservation through tree plantation and maintenance drives to increase green cover, along with solar electrification and sustainable waste management in disadvantaged communities, and to emergency response. Employees are also encouraged to design solutions that resolve problems deeply rooted in communities.

Sharing two of the projects part of this programme:

CRISIL Recyclers-Sustainable waste management

CRISIL Recyclers set up a compost pit and kitchen garden for an orphanage, and helped housing societies compost kitchen waste using earthen vessels for home composting in Chennai. The project educated 200 households about waste segregation at source, and conducted an awareness session for employees in Chennai.

The Zero Garbage Project-Awareness about waste segregation

The project reached out to 400 families, creating awareness about waste management, the types of garbage (wet and dry) and how these should be disposed, and constructing two compost pits in Mumbai. Banners in communities are enabling consciousness about wet and dry garbage.
