Adding to this, Mr. K M Cherian,VP, Customer Service, said, “We are happy to receive the Helen Keller Award in recognition of the efforts by our PDN group. Synchrony Financial also has a unique Corporate Citizenship platform, Families that Work, which encourages the employees to participate in various activities to positively impact society and improve the quality of life of those in need. We involve our employees in various community service activities. In one initiative, the volunteer hours spent were leveraged to provide vision to over 600 underprivileged patients through a unique “All for Eyes” campaign. In another case, to improve the safety surveillance in the old city, we have signed an MOU with the Hyderabad city police for the installation of 64 CCTV cameras. These cameras play an important role in helping to make the old city safer.”
