[Mumbai, 24th June 2024] – Eleganz Interiors, a leading interior fit out firm, proudly announces its continued dedication to corporate social responsibility (CSR) through a series of remarkable initiatives via the Scavengers Welfare Foundation, an NGO dedicated to serving society. Motivated by a profound sense of social responsibility, Eleganz Interiors established this foundation with a broad spectrum of objectives, including education, healthcare, poverty alleviation, and more, to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need.
Through the Scavengers Welfare Foundation, Eleganz Interiors has undertaken numerous initiatives that have made a significant impact on the lives of thousands. These include the distribution of over 15,000 meals to hospital patients, families, staff, and the less fortunate in the vicinity of three participating hospitals; the adoption of an entire school; providing students with essential resources, uniforms, school lunches, and support for teachers and staff salaries; and the distribution of ration packs containing staple food items to impoverished families in 10 villages, positively impacting an estimated 15,000+ lives.
Additionally, Eleganz Interiors actively engages in projects that empower communities, such as renovating community spaces, providing pro-bono design services to non-profit organisations, and organising skill-building workshops for underprivileged youth. The company also supports prominent NGOs in various domains, including The Feathers Club, Bengal Cultural Association, Aarya Can Kids, Elderly Care & Old Age Homes, Education & Empowerment for the Girl Child, and initiatives promoting Art, Culture & Heritage.
“At Eleganz Interiors, we believe that success is not just measured by our professional achievements, but also by the positive impact we can create in the communities we serve,” said Sammeer Pakvasa, MD, Eleganz Interiors. We started the Scavengers Welfare Foundation in June 2022 with the goal of creating significant societal change while reinforcing the importance of giving back.
“Through our foundation, we’ve been able to uplift thousands of underprivileged individuals from the marginalised communities. We are proud of the positive impact we have created so far, but our journey doesn’t stop here. We remain steadfast in our commitment to social responsibility and will continue to explore new ways to contribute to the betterment of society.”
Besides the CSR work, Eleganz Interiors has been on a journey of over three and a half decades. The company has achieved remarkable milestones, including expanding operations to Singapore, nurturing a dedicated team of 450+ professionals, reaching a turnover of 350+ crores, and earning recognition as a “Great Place to Work.” Eleganz is committed not only to CSR activities but also to sustainability, which is evident in initiatives such as using renewable materials and waste reduction programs and aligning with LEED and WELL Building certification standards.
