enduring change

Environment

IndiGoReach’s initiatives support our commitment to environmental conservation and reducing carbon footprint through collective social action and impact. Our communityfacing interventions promote sustainable livelihood practices and biodiversity conservation. We employ Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) technologies, such as biogas plants, solar lights, and smokeless chulhas, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the areas where we implement these programmes.

By promoting the adoption of 9,500 biogas units and restoring 57.5 hectares of forest land through sustainable agricultural practices, we aim to offset carbon emissions. To date, our community environmental initiatives have positively impacted over 15,600 households.

Heritage

India is home to architectural wonders that have stood proud for centuries, testifying to our rich history and culture. IndiGoReach advocates the preservation of our heritage structures so that future generations can continue celebrating our glorious past.

We have contributed to the restoration of heritage sites like the Lal Bagh Palace in Indore, Mausoleum of Abdur Rahim Khan-i-Khana in New Delhi, and the Mausoleum of Muhammad Qutb Shah at the Qutb Shahi Heritage Park in Hyderabad.

Encouraging employee volunteerism

Our 32,000+ employees share our values of fostering inclusive well-being, and spreading joy and happiness amongst the communities in which we operate. They volunteer their time and effort to expand the reach and impact of our developmental initiatives. This year, employee volunteers mentored children, participated in clean-up drives, and conducted heritage walks. Their efforts helped collect and give over 5,000 gifts to children and senior citizens. Our teams personally visited schools, NGOs, and care homes to distribute these gifts and organise fun-filled activities to spread cheer among children.

Case study: School Adoption Programme

IndiGo’s School Adoption programme aims to positively impact the lives of over 22,500 children, across various states in India, through the holistic development of government schools, to bring about academic and infrastructure transformation. The programme looks at developing school’s infrastructure, including constructing or upgrading safe drinking water facilities, separate toilets for boys and girls, playgrounds, libraries, and science labs. The interventions also include leadership and curriculum training for teachers, principals, and school committees to ensure that the programme’s best practices are implemented and cascaded to have a lasting impact, resulting in a brighter future for the children.

These infrastructural upgrades have seen student learning outcomes improve by 15% - 20%. Other benefits as outlined below:
