CSR Activities
Environmental Responsibility
Friends Group is committed to environmental stewardship through large-scale renewable energy initiatives. Our wind and solar power installations generate clean energy that offsets more than 500,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, contributing significantly to climate action and a greener future. We also prioritize local employment at our renewable energy sites, ensuring that economic development and growth benefit the surrounding communities.
Food Security & Social Care
For over 12 years, Friends Group has supported the “Ram Rasoda” initiative in Gandhidham, which provides free meals every day of the year to individuals in need. Through this sustained commitment, we strive to address food insecurity and extend meaningful support to vulnerable members of the community, ensuring that no one is deprived of a basic necessity.
Shri Amarchand Singhvi Trust
Through the Shri Amarchand Singhvi Trust, Friends Group undertakes a wide range of welfare initiatives focused on community development and social upliftment. The Trust supports Gaushalas in Jodhpur, Balotara, and Gandhidham and has also established and supported “Luv-Kush Navjeevan Sansthan,” an orphanage in Jodhpur dedicated to providing care, shelter, education, and opportunities for underprivileged children.
Employment & Livelihoods
Creating sustainable livelihoods remains a key focus across all Group companies. With a workforce of more than 2,000 employees, including a significant number from Rajasthan, Friends Group actively promotes local hiring across its operational regions. This approach not only generates employment opportunities but also strengthens local economies and supports long-term community development.
Education & Healthcare Welfare
Friends Group has made significant contributions to education and healthcare infrastructure over the years. The Group established and donated Amarchand Singhvi International School (CBSE) in Gandhidham, one of the region’s leading educational institutions. Our commitment extends to supporting schools and healthcare facilities across Gujarat and Rajasthan, including a high school and hospital in our native village of Mootli (Balotara). During the COVID-19 pandemic, we donated 20 ICU beds and two ventilators to St. Joseph Hospital and subsequently supported the development of a dedicated dialysis ward at MM Hospital, Gandhidham. Regular blood donation drives and other healthcare initiatives further strengthen our commitment to community well-being.
