Corporate Social Responsibility

We at 360 ONE strongly believe in enabling inclusive development. The core focus of our CSR is aimed at reducing inequality by enabling access to opportunities to underserved or marginalised communities. Through our CSR, we wish to implement sustainable programmes that move the needle on social impact by addressing some of the most critical developmental challenges. In order to consolidate our efforts towards catalytic CSR, we established the 360 ONE Foundation (“Foundation”, formerly known as IIFLW CSR Foundation) to design and deliver CSR activities on behalf of the 360 ONE group entities.

Our vision for the Foundation is to bring about a positive change in the lives of underprivileged individuals and communities by enabling a strategic and collaborative partnership to maximise social impact. We believe that meaningful impact can be achieved through effective collaboration. We wish to partner with our clients and leverage their passion for social impact to amplify the scale of our CSR programmes.

Our focus going forward will be to support interventions in Healthcare, Education, Livelihoods and Financial Inclusion, which will enable us to build resilience in various communities. As experts in financial sector, we would like to leverage our core competencies and expertise beyond providing mere funds as part of our responsibility to society.

As we move forward in our social impact journey, we wish to evolve towards a more strategic and impactful model for our CSR where we envision our role in mobilising both philanthropic capital and other types of capital to create more collaborative, meaningful, sustainable solutions that uplift lives of underserved and under-represented individuals and communities. This will also enable a multiplier effect of our funds and make our programmes sustainable in the longer run.

Building resilience in communities through collaboration and collective impact
 

The pandemic has severely affected the health, education and livelihoods of millions of Indians who are grappling with the devasting aftermaths of the situation.

As experts in the financial sector, we would like to leverage our core competencies and expertise beyond providing mere funds as part of our responsibility to society. We wish to evolve towards a more strategic and impactful model for our CSR where we envision our role in mobilising both philanthropic and commercial capital to create more collaborative, meaningful, sustainable solutions that uplift lives of underserved and underrepresented individuals and communities.
