CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REPORT
Warrior’s Day
Warrior’s Day is an auspicious day dedicated to
commemorate and honour the sacrifices and services of our

permanent disability in the line of duty. With no absolute way
to measure or compensate them for their sacrifices, the Group
believes in supporting their widows, children and loved ones
through annual donations towards the Ex-Army funds.
