“Corporate social responsibility is rooted in our culture of
caring at Wells Fargo, and it has been an important part our
company’s growth and success for more than 160 years. We
continuously work to make a difference in our workplaces as well as
the communities in which we live. At Wells Fargo EGS India, we
focus on supporting education for underprivileged children,” said
Aveek Mukherjee, head of Wells Fargo EGS Delivery. “We also
recognize the importance of having a workplace culture that
promotes and supports healthy lifestyle choices by encouraging
events such as the annual run/ride/walk event.”
Wells Fargo EGS India has an active community of runners and
riders with more than 1,500 team members who regularly take part in
running and riding events across the country. To facilitate and
encourage cycling to work, Wells Fargo facilities in Hyderabad and
Bengaluru have exclusive parking zones for bicycles.
Speaking at the Educathon event, Prakriti Panwar, head of
corporate sustainability for Wells Fargo EGS India said, “We are
committed to finding new ways to spread awareness to support the
cause of education – one of our priority areas of community
service. In addition, our volunteers consistently work to help
educate underprivileged children by driving various efforts at
schools supported by Wells Fargo EGS India.”
The 10K walk/run/ride is one among many examples of Wells
Fargo’s commitment to environmental stewardship. While the company
has successfully put into practice several ‘everyday’ green
initiatives like switching off lights for an hour every week and
double-side printing configuration on all printers, Wells Fargo
volunteers also create awareness about greener living and
participate in external initiatives that help the environment.
Wells Fargo Centers in Hyderabad and Bengaluru are also
LEED-certified sustainable sites with strict energy and resource
management.
