Huntsman funds community projects in western India

03/10/2014
Dye and chemical maker Huntsman Textile Effects has outlined the support it has given to schools and communities in western India as part of its 2013 Sustainability Report.

Its Baroda site, bought in 2009, manufactures intermediates and specialty dyes for the textile industry.

The chemical group introduced programmes to improve education and healthcare for villagers. Teachers were provided with regular training, and school management committees were enhanced to provide ongoing oversight and improvement.

Huntsman staff volunteer in the community, distributing school supplies and participating in sports days and other community festivals.

Over the past four years, Huntsman has funded 16 Anganwadis (pre-schools), 32 Anganwadi workers, 200 adolescents and women and 2,000 children.
