Crisil Re

Our Manifesto

The littered corner that makes you cringe every morning as you cross it.

Bald patches of land where tabebuia trees could paint the view yellow.

That smart car-cleaning kid who can do more with education than most people around you.

Navigating through plastic on the beach as you run your morning run.

Grab that editing pen. Change what you don’t like.

Frequent littering in public places and limited waste management infrastructure in Kanhai community adopted to drive behavioral change of the community towards healthy living practices, waste management and segregation at source. 80% water logging problem in the community were addressed as a result of constant awareness and advocacy. Residents have stopped littering in the public areas, thus preventing water logging. Approximately 87,000 community members benefited from the project within a year.

1000+ kgs of waste collected though coastal clean-ups.

To arrest hazards of garbage flowing into water bodies, Crisil has conducted clean-up drives at Elliot's Beach (end-point of the Marina Beach shore), which sees heavy footfalls. Employee volunteers have also cleaned up the connecting beach stretch, Thirivanmiyur.

Mudichur Lake, one of the largest in Chennai, bore the brunt of encroachment resulting in massive floods in 2015. Consequently, for the past two years, Crisil RE has been restoring the lake through clean-up drives around the water body.

Environment conservation
Potential to offset more than 3900 MTCO2e over the next 15 years

In 2018, Crisil undertook a geo-tagging & carbon sequestration exercise with Center for Environmental Conservation & Education (CERE) to analyse the impact of more than 16000 trees planted across India. The study has shown that trees planted have the potential to offset 3921.12 metric tonnes (MT) of carbon dioxide over the next 15 years, equivalent to the carbon footprint of 2300 humans.
