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 5 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.
This winter ReNew, India's leading renewable energy company, is donating 2 lakh blankets to those suffering due to the harsh cold weather.

For many homeless children and the elderly, winters are particularly harsh. It’s time to show we care and gift them warmth. We will distribute blankets to make this winter a comfortable one for them. Donating for the cause is very easy and convenient. A unit gift consists of Rs 500 which will help us in donating two blankets on your behalf. Donors can choose to donate in multiple units of 1, 2, 3 or more. With the funds collected, iCharity, as a distribution partner, of ReNew Gift Warmth campaign, will purchase the blankets and distribute them to those who need it on the streets as winter sets in.
Join us in this drive to give warmth to the disadvantaged and save lives!
