Employee Volunteering as a Practice

At Hindustan Zinc, we have implemented the practice of employee volunteering across the organisation as part of our efforts to drive our CSR initiatives and promote responsible actions. Employees are provided the opportunity to participate in our social development journey and contribute meaningfully to addressing societal challenges.
