As we complete our first century and enter the next one, one
vision shines on with the brightness our founder intended - the concept of
trusteeship of wealth. Begun by a spontaneous donation of Rs. 3 Lakh to the
Tilak Fund by Ardeshir Godrej, this initiation of philanthropy, was
strengthened by Pirojsha, who made it a corporate policy. Along with housing,
schooling, medical aid and paid leave to workers, Pirojsha also was deeply
concerned about environmental and social causes. This vision continues to be
the leading light in our lives.

Mangroves
The western bank of the Thane Creek is the single largest
mangrove belt in Mumbai. A substantial tract of this mangrove land is adjoining
the Godrej & Boyce Township. Since 1985, The Soonabai Pirojsha Godrej
Foundation has been maintaining these large tracts of quality mangroves in the
city. The vast expanses of these mangroves serve as a second lung to the city
only after the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, which is under immense
environmental pressure.

School
Udayachal means the 'Eastern Mountains', the mountains from where the sun, the
moon and the myriad stars rise into the vast expanse of the sky. Udayachal
truly symbolizes our philosophy - Help students from even the humblest origins
to rise to the zenith of a rich and righteous life! At Udayachal, we strive to
bring light into each child’s life, by emphasising more on all - round
development, rather than mere academics.

Hospital
Coming up at Vikroli, Mumbai, this 110 bed multi-speciality
hospital will epitomise "Value Healthcare For All". Spread over 1 lakh sq. ft.,
the hospital's linear architectural plan allows for energy efficiency - be it
lighting, logistics or patient movement. The hospital hopes to set a benchmark
when it comes to space utilisation, hoping to provide about 1000 sq. ft. around
every patient.
The hospital will have five state-of-the-art Operation Theatres with attached
sterilisation units and an ambulance service too.

Community Development
Few can rival our zeal for philanthropy. We were one of the earliest corporate
houses to initiate worker welfare programmes in the country. Our concerns for
the environment too are a well documented fact. Over the years we have set up
many trusts that look into the various issues that plague our society. And our
efforts to preserve the architecture of Mumbai, is best expressed by our active
participation in the Indian Heritage Society. The following links should give
you a good idea about our involvement in various projects and how we are
keeping alive the spirit of philanthropy, initiated by our founding fathers.
