Marks & Start is the flagship CSR program of Marks & Spencer in Bangladesh, which is in

than 1200 physically challenged people through this project across our supply base in Bangladesh

There are several ways to get involved in humanitarian work and we believe natural disaster is one
the worst situation where we must involve ourselves. Back in 2007 when flood hit many part of
Bangladesh we feel an obligation to help those people, we distributed foods and medicines to the
flood affected people in many region such as Paikchora, Vungmorara Kurigram and many other
places.
