Corporate Social Responsibility at Best Star Group means living with our corporate values with the goal of

• Having minimal impact on the natural environment;
• Enabling local communities to develop their potential;
• Empowering employees to be responsible civil society members; and
• Committing ourselves to ethical business practices that are fair to all the stakeholders

so that we can collectively contribute towards creating a better world for all.

CSR at Best Star Group is based on the premise that the business and its environment are inextricably inter-dependent and focuses on strengthening the organic link between the two. The belief that a higher degree of sustainability can be achieved in business by balancing growth in all aspects of development (financial, natural, social, human and physical) is central to our CSR framework, which is strategically designed to encompass all five capitals in our initiatives.

At Best Star Group, CSR is not merely charity or philanthropy; it is empowering stakeholders to make informed choices that will integrate business imperatives with development objectives.

The Best Star Group, with this sound CSR frame work, has identified Education as a preferred agenda in its efforts. We have gone all out to form a Trust to match the attention it deserves. As part of our Indian Operations we had a long cherished dream to contribute immensely to the society in the field of education and MOHAMED ABDUL KADER EDUCATIONAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL TRUST (MAKE TRUST) emerged as a vibrant forum in Tiruchirappalli, an unassuming rapidly developing city in August 2013, as our flagship Corporate Social Responsibility. Our belief to ‘breathe life into life’ is a powerful message, which demonstrates our Company’s dedication in investing optimal resources and expertise in the field of education. The Trust is all set to promote educational, social and developmental activities for the benefit of People in India.

Mr. I. Ahmed Shafiulla, Managing Founder Trustee and Secretary has taken a modest but a decisive step to serve the poor, disadvantaged and marginalized sections of the Society. The genesis of the MAKE TRUST will be an ideal platform to transform his great vision in to reality.

The lofty ideals and the spirited Vision & Mission of the Make Trust is safe in the hands of Mr. A. Mohitheen Batcha, Joint-Managing Trustee.
