EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERING AS A PRACTICE

At Hindustan Zinc, we have implemented the practice of employee volunteering across the organisation as part of our efforts to drive our CSR initiatives and promote responsible actions. Employees are provided the opportunity to participate in our social development journey and contribute meaningfully to addressing societal challenges.

• During the year, we onboarded external volunteers for various month-long summer learning camps, generating 2,800+ learning hours covering 1,500+ students, and 11-day winter camps, generating 6,600+ learning hours for 2,400+ students. The initiative was aimed at strengthening the academic & all-round development of the students from rural background in Shiksha Sambal schools
• Since the last two years, fellows are being onboarded from renowned Universities like Delhi University for the entire year. In FY 2023-24, 120 modules were transacted by these fellows to strengthen Language & Math in a play-way manner to encourage learning. These fellows promote activity-based learning, which positively impacts the learning outcomes of students of grade 6^th to 8^th
