HCL FoundationTouching Lives. Spreading Smiles.

Power of One – Powered By HCLites

Our community programs are founded on the belief that it is all about the “Power of 1” – the power of 1 Rupee, the power of 1 day of volunteer work, the power of unified

employee minds and hearts to transform the society.

At HCL Technologies, we take pride in our 'Employees First' culture. When HCLites expressed the desire to reach out to the

less privileged and give back to society, we ensured that a professional entity was

created to achieve the same.

HCL Foundation is a Corporate Social Responsibility Trust, supported by Employees’

contribution of Re 1 / day and matched by HCL. All programs are implemented with support from

employee voluntary group called the Community Champions.

ECO = Environment + Community: We believe, that engaging with

communities will help us meet with environment goals, and through communities we can “rebalance”

resources for the future.
