ING Investment Raises Funds For Underprivileged Girls

ING Investment Management India has taken the initiative of raising funds for underprivileged girls adopted by 'Pratham' - a reputed NGO in India. Pratham's Mumbai Education Initiative trained the underprivileged girls to create fifteen 'works of art', which have been put up on exhibition at the head office of ING Investment Management in Mumbai. The final bidding session took place on 14 September 2007 at 12.00 noon and the employees participated wholeheartedly in the bidding process.

The highest bidders became the proud owners of the paintings and also presented the bid cheques to the girls, who created the 'masterpieces'. To add to the excitement, ING Investment Management matched the overall bid amount collected and donated the funds to Pratham for the well-being of the underprivileged girls. Globally, corporate Social Responsibility is an integral part of ING's businesses. Clear policies, innovative products and grassroots programme enable ING to meet the financial and social expectations of people connected with it.
