CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

At Castrol India, we believe that we have a responsibility to bring enduring positive value to communities we work with. In line with our core theme to keep India moving, we have and will continue to build enduring and engaging relationships with key stakeholders in the mobility sector.

Truck drivers and mechanics are two key partners who play a significant role in keeping the wheels of this sector moving. Truck drivers carry the majority of freight traffic in the country while mechanics service one of the largest automotive markets in the world. However their skills, livelihood opportunities and socio-economic conditions need more focus.

At Castrol India, we are committed to making a positive impact in the lives of truck drivers and mechanics by preparing them to face today’s reality and leverage tomorrow’s opportunity.

VISION

Transforming the lives of truck drivers and mechanics towards a sustainable livelihood and pride for their professions.

MISSION

To prepare truck drivers and mechanics in India for today’s reality and tomorrow’s opportunity by:

Enabling sustainable livelihoods and making them future-ready through upskilling
Providing opportunities for socio-economic growth through financial literacy and entrepreneurship development
Promoting pride for their professions through multiple programmatic interventions and platforms
