COMMUNITY
Because We Care
At the heart of Hyundai’s vision, there is instilled a deep sense of care. We are all together in this journey of life and what we endure together as humanity matters just as much as how we react to it. This our fight too and we are in it together with you. In these times, we are reaching out to do what matters the most right now.
Hope is Not Lost
With all the crisis and struggle, it is easy to get lost in a world filled with doubt and fear. These days may bring out our weaknesses and make us feel vulnerable. But even as we feel all hope is lost, strength emerges out of those little acts of kindness. People are taking out time to piece together resources, going the extra mile every day to help each other.
In times of despair we often lose hope amidst the chaos, but it is also times such as these that brings out the best of humanity with in us all. We have redeployed our resources and channelled our efforts to provide relief during these difficult circumstances. We are organizing these resources on a war footing and hope to help in abating this crisis.

All life is precious, be it the frontline warriors working tirelessly night and day to every family in affliction right now. What matters the most is life. And the priceless air that breathes life. We are here in every sense, to do what is right for humanity. So Hyundai has come forward with initiatives to help save lives.

We are in it Together
Since the onset of this Pandemic, we were quick to respond, especially because timely intervention was of the utmost importance. We began with multiple programs and initiatives that focussed on helping societies to manage the crisis.
From distribution of Masks, Sanitizers, Dry Rations and COVID-19 Testing Kits to Public Health Initiatives such as ‘Sparsh Sanjeevni’, we reached out to communities in need with these far reaching efforts that penetrated even remote regions of the country. We mobilized a mobile primary healthcare clinic with a doctor on board and equipped it with testing facilities for spot diagnostic tests. Further, to drive higher employability amongst affected sections, we began a program called ‘Saksham’ that is specifically up skilling youths to open up greater work avenues for them.
Hyundai also Demonstrated its solidarity with the government by organizing a 3-Day vaccination camp for its staff aged above 45 years, through the office of the Sriperumbudur Government Primary Health Centre. The company has been promoting vaccination awareness amongst its employees and will continue to pursue this initiative for the remainder of its staff, in its efforts to overcome the pandemic.
