Combining industrial expertise with empathy-driven design via projects such as the water-on-wheels roller tank, contactless safe handwash stations, and rainwater harvesting, Patton has been transforming lives.

Receiving the Rotary National CSR Award, Preeyam Budhia (president, Patton Group) expressed: “It is an honour to receive this prestigious award. Recognising organisations that look beyond business by being actively involved in the community is a wonderful way to inspire businesses to give back to society.

This project, along with our broader CSR efforts, reflects our commitment to sustainability and creating a legacy that lasts far beyond business outcomes.”
