Green Delta’s StrateGIC<br />
CSR INItiative for Human<br />
rIGHts aND Road Safety<br />
By Syed Najmus Saquib, Green Delta Insurance<br />
Green Delta Insurance Company Limited has been practicing CSR effectively since the<br />
inception of the company. Over the years the organization has put more focus on strategic<br />
CSR and has been strictly and consistently following the Ten Principles established by the<br />
United Nations <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Compact</strong>. This year Green Delta launched a few innovative CSR<br />
projects aligning with human rights principles as well as some philanthropic issues.<br />
Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh and<br />
has an estimated population of 15.5<br />
million. One of the major issues the city<br />
dwellers face almost every day are the<br />
streets filled with traffic. Often this is due<br />
to the unplanned roads and population<br />
density, but most of the time it is due to<br />
the uneducated drivers and the lack of<br />
awareness of the masses. The rickshaw<br />
is the most popular vehicle of the city,<br />
but it is also one of the major reasons<br />
for clogged streets. The rickshaw pullers<br />
are rarely educated and often do not care<br />
about following the traffic rules, so they<br />
create unnecessary nuisances on the<br />
streets. Their passengers often do not<br />
complain when the rickshaw pullers<br />
break the rules and take the wrong route<br />
to reach a destination quickly, as they<br />
are also in a hurry. But just to save 5 - 10<br />
minutes, people encourage the rickshaw<br />
pullers to break the rules, leading to a<br />
rise in road accidents.<br />
We came up with an idea to address this<br />
issue through a strategic CSR campaign.<br />
