dark villages with the objective
of spreading awareness about

 Sanjivani
HUL started Sanjivani – a
free mobile medical service
camp in the year 2003 near
its Doom Dooma factory in

population but merely 4% of the

Corporate Governance
“I believe that nothing can be greater than
a business, however small it may be, that is
governed by conscience; and that nothing
can be meaner or more petty than a
business, however large, governed without
honesty and without brotherhood.”
-William Hesketh Lever
