These programs develop and hone skills which employees can in turn apply to delivery and other aspects of their careers.

We have an almost 100% participation rate in CSR activities throughout the year and more than 60% of the organization has donated funds and personal time to volunteer with our partner charities.
- Engaged & Social: Our continued investment in our people including their career development and professional development as well as how we recognize and reward outstanding contribution enables us to build a strong team and culture where people are inspired, motivated, recognized and rewarded.
