Corporate Social Responsibility
“The brands that will be big in the future will be those that tap into the social changes that are taking place” – Sir Michael Perry (Chairman of Centricia PLC)
Dosti Realty Beyond Business
At Dosti Realty we believe that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the a vowed duty of every organization and try our best to create a better society by generating activities that involve the environment as well as our consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and other members of the public sphere. We believe that generating profit should not be the organisation's only motive and that giving back to society is far more important. We are therefore fulfilling our commitment and setting an example by practice, in the realty world. Dosti Realty's social welfare and philanthropic activities are carried out by The Dosti Foundation.
