WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS), a leading provider of global
Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services, has been recognized
with the prestigious Asia Responsible Entrepreneurship Award (AREA)
for Social Empowerment, for 2012 - 2013. WNS, through the WNS Cares
Foundation (WCF), was given this award based on its work in helping
empower individuals or communities that are disadvantaged or
discriminated against. The recipients must have a clear “Social
Empowerment Mission” and must have programs and projects in place
that support this mission.
"WNS is committed to a culture of corporate social
responsibility, and to creating a sustainability footprint that
transcends generations,” said Keshav R. Murugesh, Group CEO, WNS.
“WCF is working relentlessly towards taking education to the
underprivileged communities of those countries where WNS is present
as a business entity. We believe that our mission to “Educate,
Empower and Enrich” will empower not one but many generations of
the future. It is an honor and a privilege to be the only BPO
winning the ARE award this year,” he added.
Since inception in 2011, the WNS Cares Foundation has touched
the lives of almost 30,000 beneficiaries worldwide. The
geographical reach of WCF spans nineteen cities across the globe,
including programs in Costa Rica, India, North America, The
Philippines, Romania, Sri Lanka, South Africa and the UK. While WCF
has customized projects and programs for each of its international
locations, the common thread that runs through all its programs is
to give every child an equal opportunity in this world. WCF aims to
create a better and sustainable future for underprivileged children
and youth. WCF also imparts education in its holistic form and not
just academic knowledge, thereby equipping children and youth with
real-life skills.
