Corporate Social Responsibility
With industry leadership come important responsibilities. As we have grown, we understand the importance of giving back to society, which is a core element of our corporate values. Our Corporate Social Responsibility philosophy starts with The Cognizant Foundation.
The Cognizant Foundation: Passion for Making a Difference
Registered in March 2005 as a “Charitable Company” under the Indian Companies Act, the Cognizant Foundation helps underprivileged members of Indian society gain access to quality education & healthcare by:
- Providing financial and technical support
- Designing and implementing educational and healthcare improvement programs
- Partnering with Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), educational institutions, healthcare institutions, government agencies and corporations to raise the quality of life for people across India.
The foundation is managed by an eminent three-member Board of Directors with extensive experience in corporate and public affairs (including our Vice Chairman Lakshmi Narayanan).Through the foundation, a wide array of Corporate Social Responsibility Programs have been identified and sponsored by our associates.
