Mar 24, 2022 8:56 AM

Today, Big Deal talks about a new initiative on the social aspects called the ‘Social Compact’.

Not just their own companies but even when the partners, contractors create a healthier work environment and lifestyle for these invisible workers.

The participants instrumental in this cause are Meher Pudumjee of Thermax, Anita Marangoly George, a sustainability investor, and Pirojsha Godrej of Godrej Properties. They discussed this further.
