Business and society are interdependent. The well being of one depends on the well being of the other. Corporates have to redefine their roles in the discharge of their social responsibilities towards community, besides the government-initiated developmental programs directed towards improving the health and living standards of the people at large.

VLCC has defined its Corporate Social Responsibility along two broad dimensions. One is directly through eradicating obesity and educating the public at large about the scourge that it is and secondly through its support to institutions that are committed to the cause of improving the well being of the under privileged sections of society.

VLCC believes that the beauty inherent in every one of us can only shine in a just and fair society, where equal opportunity is not just a dream. As a small step towards realizing this vision, VLCC has instituted the ‘VLCC Foundation’. This Foundation undertakes activities for the development of local communities and works in association with many NGOs to transform lives.

Apart from a beauty training school that VLCC runs at Sangam Vihar, the group has also supported various other social initiatives of non-profit organizations, Tsunami relief and others. VLCC has also instituted the “VLCC Foundation” which runs programs to provide health and education support to the underprivileged and rehabilitation schemes for the physically challenged. The Foundation also actively organizes health check-up camps in cardiology, gynecology and diabetes, among others.

VLCC, through VLCC Foundation, has also embarked on a drive to raise funds both directly and through its network to trusted NGO’s with a record of deploying funds fruitfully in projects in line with the national objective of eradication of poverty. VLCC has made commitments with recognized NGO’s whose existing contribution towards the poorer section of the society is distinctively visible

The Foundation works in association with the following –

1. Ministry of Women and Child Welfare, Government of India

VLCC Foundation provides vocational training to women in shelter homes to make them employable in the beauty industry.

2. Khushii

3. Tamana and Amar Jyoti

4. Help Age

From providing health & education assistance to the underprivileged through specialized courses to establishing rehabilitation centers for the physically challenged, VLCC Foundation strives to make a difference.

VLCC Foundation is a partner to professionals in the drive against health problems caused by obesity. WHO estimates that there are close to 50 million obese Indians and VLCC is committed to eradicating obesity through its various initiatives, working as it does closely with the medical profession to educate target audiences about prevention of obesity. To promote scientific research and create awareness about the dangers of the disease, VLCC celebrates 26th November as the Anti-Obesity day. The Foundation disseminates information on nutrition, food preparation, healthy diets and lifestyle problems related to obesity. In close association with the medical fraternity and VLCC’s Research & Development, the Foundation has developed new and safe ways to fight obesity by conducting awareness programs, training camps, and workshops.
