Social and Relationship Capital

Working for the betterment of society

Breaking the chain by nurturing communities

As a Company, social capital is of paramount importance for our efficiency and coherent existence. Our promise to serve the nation’s cause, states, the local communities, and the surrounding ecosystem drives us as a responsible organisation. In our endeavours to conduct our business mindfully, we consciously take charge of our social accountability and respect the law where we operate and regard human dignity with utmost sincerity.

Our approach to Corporate Social Responsibility is based on a simple principle that awareness leads to empowerment. In its numerous compositions, awareness equips and inspires us to make better decisions. As we provide the highest quality of pathology services to our customers with a sense of integrity and empathy, we also actively seek opportunities to contribute to the wellbeing of the communities we operate within.

For the past 3 decades, Metropolis has been at the forefront conducting impactful camps and driving numerous workshops for different sections of the society. We partner with societies, corporate groups, educational institutions, government bodies, NGOs, wellness foundations and a host of other organisations to make a difference in the lives we touch.

We have identified four different areas to contribute and truly make a difference through our well-designed programmes.
