Corporate Social Responsibility

Preservation of the environment has been a key driving factor behind all our CSR activities. MAGSONS was one of the first private retail houses to ban use of plastic carry bags in 1995. A shift was made to paper bags, recycled newspaper bags and later to non-woven cloth bags and 40 micron plus recyclable plastic bags. Currently, Magsons uses eco-friendly bio-degradable carry bags and packing materials as approved by the Goa Pollution Control Board across all its stores as an environment friendly initiative. We initiated the empowerment of using the unutilized labour force of the jail inmates and old age homes to prepare recycled newsprint bags as a means for their meaningful activity. MAGSONS is also the proud associate with the Corporation of the City of Panaji for its “Waste-Wise” initiative.

MAGSONS runs a ‘Senior Citizen Park’ constructed and maintained by the Group along the banks of the River Mandovi at the Indoor Sports Complex in Panaji for the benefit of leisure activities for the senior citizens.

The Partners are Trustees of New Dawn Charitable Trust which runs “Asha Deep – School for the mentally challenged” at Deep Vihar, MPT and the Group supports the cause financially.

MAGSONS is associated with “The Communicare Trust”, Goa and “Dan Utsav” for collections of food and daily need items for the underprivileged brethren.

MAGSONS is a partner in the “Waste Wise” project of the Corporation of the City of Panaji for a cleaner and greener city.
