Investors, employees and other stakeholders appreciate corporations which aspire
to high environmental/social standards that reflect their own values. Such
initiatives attract discerning, ethical investors, and help retain motivated,
diverse, high caliber people. If your main CS themes are environment and
education for the benefit of the community, then Kemri Conservation is a perfect
fit.
Some obvious benefits of a corporate volunteer programme (CVP) are:
- Spurs teamwork across levels of the organisation as CVPs are non hierarchical,
as opposed to usual training courses which are tailored towards peer employee
groups
- Creates a pool of employee “champions” which should translate into greater
care for energy conservation and waste management in the work place, ultimately
improving environmental audit scores

Kemri Conservation offers several opportunities for corporates and individuals
to participate in environment and community service work. Volunteering involves
a commitment of minimum half a day. We also run longer programmes upto 5 work
days for which we have full boarding and lodging facilities for participants to
reside and work at the site. For this purpose we use Rawla Bathera as the base
camp – see the section Rawla Bathera for more information.
Typical activities that are organized for participants include tree planting,
trenching and fixing pipelines to distribute water through the project area,
community meetings to spread awareness about education, waste disposal and
sustainable lifestyles, student counseling, avian and mammalian surveys.
The variety of activities enables participants to understand the various aspects
of the work that goes into ecological restoration and in winning community
support, and all of them assist the project. Such fieldwork is an excellent
platform for team building and lighting a spark of leadership amongst
participants.
