employment practices. Beyond our factories, we believe it is our moral
obligation to create an ecosystem where children are given access to quality
education and equal opportunities. Eradicating child labour is not just about
compliance—it is about protecting the nation’s future, and every responsible
business must take a stand. Through our actions, we aim to set an example for
the industry and contribute meaningfully towards a society where children can

Mrs. Kavita Nigam, CHRO, KARAM Safety added, “We
believe that our responsibility extends beyond our factory gates. As HR
professionals, we must ensure that our supply chains are built on ethical
principles, championing fair and safe workplaces for adults. By taking a
proactive stance against child labor, we are not only protecting a vulnerable
section of society but also building a sustainable and ethical business for the
future. We are fully committed to collaborating with industry, government, and
communities to make a tangible impact and create a world where every child can
have a dignified childhood.”
