Focus on people - Jyoti Group:

Holding strong humanitarian beliefs, the owners of Jyoti group have always been generously involved in charitable activities. The strong emphasis the group pays to well-being of staff is also based on these values and on the confidence that ethical business practices are just the only way to go. Even though this might sound rather philosophical, the Jyoti group has proofed that emphasising values makes perfect business sense.

Trough their business ethics the group has -somehow unconsciously- developed what we now call CSR: A canteen, transport facilities and infrastructure, health care and schools for staff and their families are benefits to the workers which at the same help them to reach work in time and to concentrate on their professional responsibilities. Encouraging a sound work-life-balance, the group provides a playground and sports facilities on its premises and organizes sports as well as literary or meditation events for staff and their families.

Most of the facilities and services have been opened and extended to the community in which the Jyoti Group operates. In some cases it might be difficult to say if activities are to be called philanthropy or CSR. But this is also not of importance to the owners: for them what counts is a trustful, productive, mutually benefiting and reliable environment in which business as well as stakeholders can develop and grow. And in this the Jyoti group has been as successful as it might be possible in the difficult Nepalese business environment.
