With charity being so close to the hearts of PG Paper CEO’s Dr Poonam Gupta OBE and Puneet Gupta OBE, it’s important that as a company we stay committed by working with great causes and donating when possible.
The developed world has more than sufficient financial resources to support the world’s poorest. This can be without compromising on its own educational and healthcare programs. This is why supporting and partnering with numerous local and international charities has been a cornerstone of PG Paper’s company mission since its beginning in 2003.
Local and International Charities
At PG Paper, our team have worked closely with many non-profit organisations in the UK and across the globe. This includes Action for Children Scotland, Scottish Circle, Oxfam’s South Asian Campaign. Internationally, we have worked with medical charities in India, Pardada Pardadi Educational Society (PPES) and the Elephant Family charity.
The Oxfam South Asian Campaign strives to combat extreme violence against women in developing Asian countries. The Scottish Women’s Circle collaborated with British entrepreneurs, like Poonam, to create this campaign in order to help Asian women find their voice.
Action for Children Charity Night
One of the main charities that Poonam and Puneet have worked with is Action for Children. This charity has achieved wonderful things for disadvantaged children of all ages and walks of life. In June 2017, an Action for Children dinner was hosted and sponsored by PG Paper in the Glasgow Hilton. The night raised a sum of £108,000 for the charity.
Travels to my Elephant
Back in 2015 and 2017, Poonam and Puneet travelled across the world to India to take part in the Travels to my Elephant Rickshaw Race. These events were organised by the Elephant Family and centered around raising awareness and money for the Asian Elephant’s plight. During their trips to India, they also visited orphanages, helping children that were in need of support and education.
Recognising Achievements
Due to their exceptional efforts in business and charity, Poonam and Puneet Gupta were named the Number One Power Couple in community affairs by Asian Power Couples Top 100.
Our values are crucial to the way we work. Recognising the progress and contribution is important to reflect how far we’ve come as a company. As global paper suppliers, we value the importance of strong relationships, community building and harnessing our core beliefs in our day-today. These key factors are vital to our growth as a business and as individuals.
