CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

CSR Activities

MFAR Constructions as an organization recognizes the importance of its Corporate Social Responsibilities, and uses such platforms to guide the common man towards a healthier lifestyle. These forums are generally conducted by the company’s Safety representatives, in tandem with the company’s Medical Officer and Project Managers. With these forums and workshops, MFAR intends to not only educate the people on health and safety, on-site or otherwise, but also ensures that its employees are cared for at a personal level.
An altruistic approach has always been a part of the Founder, Dr. PM Ali’s core values and he inspires a similar outlook with every step he takes this group forward. PM Foundation is a great example of such an initiative taken by the founder. The PMF is a philanthropic initiative based in Kerala, operating for over 30 years with an aim to support and encourage educational excellence among students.
