OUR COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY WELL BEING
TechnipFMC, a global leader in oil and gas projects, technologies, systems and services is committed to sustainable development of local communities across their presence worldwide. In India, the Company has taken up several initiatives under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program to demonstrate the act of compassion towards the well-being of local community. True to the purpose, at TechnipFMC India* we proudly refer our CSR program as ‘Seed of Hope’.
Here is a snapshot of few of our activities aiming to instil Seed of Hope across India where we operate.

In order to support Swacch Bharat (Clean India) initiative of the Government of India, we have tied up with Divya Prem Seva Mission in Haridwar, Uttarakhand to construct 38 toilets in Bhogpur village in Rishikesh to provide sanitation facilities to the villagers. To further our support in education, a computer lab was set up in Father Agnel Balbhawan School in Greater Noida, U.P.

We also made a donation to the NAAM Foundation to support drought-hit farmers in Maharashtra. In Ahmedabad, we have adopted twelve girl children of Vidya Mandir Residential School to sponsor their education fees till the completion of their school education.
