ISS India supports the campaign ‘Seeing is Believing’
ISS India is supporting The Standard Chartered Bank’s global charitable initiative to tackle avoidable blindness. In connection with this initiative the bank created the campaign called ‘Seeing Is Believing’, and while the Bank bore approximately 50% of the costs, the bank was looking around for companies to help with the rest.
ISS India, being a favoured partner of the bank, contributed with INR 300,000 enabling the charity to start as per schedule. As a way of thanking ISS, the team members of the Standard Chartered Bank carried ISS banners and posters.
The ‘Seeing is Believing’ fundraising events help to pay for sight-restoring surgeries and specialist medical training. It has also enabled the Standard Chartered Bank to provide vital information about eye-care to Indian communities.
In celebration of ten years of ‘Seeing is Believing’ and raising funds for the programme, several CSR activities were carried out along with the campaign. As an example, a team of 10 enthusiastic bikers from the Standard Chartered Bank undertook the almost 2,000 kilometres motor bike expedition from Mumbai to Leh in the name of the ‘Seeing is Believing’ motto ‘Challenge Yourself’. The campaign is encouraging staff to set themselves a challenge while raising funds and awareness for ‘Seeing is Believing’.
The ISS Group was founded in Copenhagen in 1901 and has grown to become one of the world’s leading Facility Services companies. ISS was originally short for International Service System, but is only used as the acronym today.
ISS offers a wide range of services within the following business areas: cleaning services, support services, property services, catering services, security services and facility management services. The ISS Group’s revenue amounted to almost DKK 80 billion in 2012 and ISS now has more than 530,000 employees in over 50 countries across Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Pacific, serving thousands of both public and private sector.
