Gift Warmth is an annual CSR initiative at ReNew. As the earth’s climate
changes due to carbon emissions from fossil fuels, many parts of the world are seeing extreme
climatic conditions and unseasonal weather patterns. The Gift Warmth campaign is an attempt to
help those, who are impacted the most by these extreme climatic changes. It is a humble bid to
bring about a little comfort to those suffering from harsh and long winters, mostly in northern
and central parts of India. Our aim is that ‘no one in India should suffer due to cold weather’
and towards this, we distribute blankets to the needy individuals who do not have the means to
fight the cold. We have been doing this for over 9 years at ReNew.
The idea germinated in the year 2015 when we were looking to do something for engaging our
employees and giving back to the society. During that period, we read reports that people on the
streets of Delhi were dying due to cold and this is when this initiative was conceptualised. It
started as an employee engagement activity and has now emerged as our annual flagship program.
Over the past 9 years, we have helped thousands combat the harsh winters by distributing
8,36,180 blankets across 12 states. Last year, we scaled up our efforts and distributed around
200,000 blankets across our communities and bringing about a little comfort to the lives of
those who needed it most.
This year, we are targeting to distribute 1,00,000 blankets across our sites in
Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, Odisha and parts of NCR.

Gift Warmth embodies ReNew’s mission to create a meaningful social impact. Achieving the milestone of distributing one million blankets is a testament to the dedication of ReNewers and the unwavering spirit of collaboration with local communities. It is inspiring to see how this initiative has evolved into a movement of compassion and care, and we remain committed to scaling such impactful efforts in the future.
