Green Delta not only ensured good<br />

practices and mental health among its<br />

employees and communities, it also<br />

extended initiatives to support the communities<br />

that are in the most vulnerable<br />

positions due to the pandemic and the<br />

weakened economy. Green Delta has created<br />

a CSR fund to support 1,500 farmers<br />

through a project called “Amra Korbo Joy”<br />

and distributed gifts in the form of cash.<br />

The Green Delta family contributed one<br />

the operations and service offerings.<br />

This helped us to open our first fully<br />

functional digital platform. This eases<br />

the process of payments by partnering<br />

with multi-financial service companies<br />

and will help Green Delta adapt to future<br />

crises in a post-pandemic world.<br />

the financial losses faced by companies<br />

and households. Green Delta believes<br />

that together we can make it through<br />

these difficult times and learn from our<br />

experiences to create a better world.<br />

Green Delta believes that being in the<br />

position to help the most vulnerable<br />

provides an opportunity to make a contribution<br />

while keeping the system running.<br />

Partnerships for the Goals (Goal 17)<br />

As the people, institutes, and businesses<br />

look for ways to recover from the losses<br />

that the pandemic has already created,<br />

Green Delta kept their goals straight and<br />

decided within a short period of time<br />

to become operational while following<br />

the new norms of the workplace. This<br />

crisis pushed the company toward rapid<br />

adaptation and opened new doors to<br />

partnerships to create a better future<br />

while overcoming internal and external<br />

turmoil. During this crisis, Green Delta<br />

has partnered with digital service providers<br />

to ease the process of delivering<br />

efficient services. This not only helped<br />
