Painting
Gallery ECC's Convention Centre houses
a great collection of 187 works of art created
by a contemporary Indian artist (Late) D. G. Kulkarni.
This reflects the Corporate Value and the emphasis
attached by the organisation to fostering art,
culture and its commitment to society.
Rehabilitation Efforts
L&T is among the first in the Indian corporate
sector to join rescue and rehabilitation efforts
for the victims of natural calamity. When Orissa,
Gujarat and Bhutan were ravaged by the cyclone,
ECC swung into action to provide shelter to the
workforce including its employees and contractors'
men and also provide relief to those people who
became homeless.
L&T extended assistance in the form of men,
machine and money during the earthquake in Gujarat.
L&T redeployed equipment from its various
construction sites in Gujarat and sent a multi-skilled
team of engineers for rescue and relief operations.
Awards
The Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry
complimented L&T for its outstanding contribution
to society by awarding Good Corporate Citizen
Award 1994-95.
In July 2002, the Federation of Indian Chamber
of Commerce and Industry's Socio-economic Development
Foundations (FICCI - SEDF), Delhi presented appreciation
certificate to L&T for programmes concerning
women's empowerment, helping the elderly and AIDS
prevention/control program of the company.
