Corporate Social Responsibility

In today's global business climate, CSR (corporate social responsibility) can be a reconciling mechanism between globalization and anti-globalization forces, government regulations and self-regulation, and a tool in balancing the needs of the company with those of its multiple stakeholders. The workforce of the future will demand greater corporate responsibility as part of the employment contract. Disease can be treated with therapies. Hunger can be solved with improved agricultural technology and transportation. Population growth can be slowed with education and family planning. Deforestation can be prevented though reforestation and continuing land stewardship. Urban blight can be reversed through community investment, education and affordable housing. For most social and environmental problems afflicting our global society, there are potential solutions -- but such solutions require a major commitment to change. We strongly believe in such commitment to change. To give an example of our commitment to the changes here are the few,

School Health and Sanitation Awareness Programme
The major problem in the schools is, they don't have toilet. Due to lack of toilet students are forced to adopt for open defecation and open urination.

Promotion of Workers Right and Human Rights

Promotion of HIV/AID Awareness
Nepal runs a considerable risk of an increased epidemic due to an active sex trade, high rates of girl trafficking to India for sex work, apparently increasing numbers of injecting drug users (IDUs) and heavy labor migration.
As in many other countries, women's low social and economic status in Nepal, combined with greater biological susceptibility to HIV, put them at increased risk of infection. Poor economic conditions, which make it difficult for women to access health and social services, compound this vulnerability.
Biosysnepal, in coordination with the local user groups, is creating awareness among the rural people about AIDS.
