At the heart of our ESG strategy lies our unwavering dedication to our people, recognizing their pivotal role in driving our company’s success. We understand that by investing in our workforce, we ensure the fulfilment of our commitments to investors and stakeholders. To this end, we prioritise the training, empowerment, and professional development of our employees. Central to this effort is our Code of Conduct, which sets a consistently high standard for interpersonal interactions, fostering an atmosphere conducive to continuous learning and growth.
Diversity and inclusion form another critical pillar of our corporate philosophy. We firmly believe that a diverse workforce not only enriches our organisational culture but also enhances our ability to develop our employees, maintain an engaged workforce, and ultimately create value for our investors.

Our commitment to social responsibility extends beyond our corporate walls to the communities surrounding our assets. Community development is a key lever in our ESG strategy, and we actively engage with these communities to make a positive impact. We achieve this through various Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs, employment opportunities, and initiatives aimed at social and economic rehabilitation. We understand that community development not only benefits the areas in which we operate but also contributes to nation-building by raising awareness of the importance of social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and economic stability.

At K Raheja Corp, we firmly believe that “investment in knowledge disburses the best interest.” This belief has led our commercial business, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, to construct a state-of-the-art educational facility in Gambhiraopet, a picturesque village in the Sircilla district of Telangana. This endeavor exemplifies our commitment to education within our broader ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives, which aim to create a positive impact on communities.

The generous participation of K Raheja Corp employees and Mindspace clients has been instrumental in this initiative’s success.
Our employees actively volunteer their time to support these students. They teach, sing, dance, assist with challenging subjects, or engage in meaningful conversations, guiding these young minds toward a brighter future. This significant employee engagement is made possible through our unique HR policy, ‘Time off for Volunteering,’ allowing employees to take six days off work for community initiatives.
