Corporate Social Responsibility is an important component of Koenig’s business strategy.
We firmly believe that doing good for the community is not only ethical, it also pays back in the long term because of increased employee morale and customer goodwill.
Customers, employees and community are the three pillars supporting every enterprise.
Koenig’s Mission – "Making the World a Better place through Education"
Koenig's Vision - "Education for All - Everyone a Phd"
Realizing that lack of education is the root cause of most social problems, Koenig invests exclusively in educational projects for the needy.
School Project
Since 2007 Koenig has been providing free education to underprivileged children of class 8 and 9 in West Delhi. Apart from the tuition classes, Koenig also distributes books free of cost.

On 2nd Oct.2010 to mark the Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, Koenig CSR started another two Free Tuition Classes at Shalimar Village and Haiderpur Villager, New Delhi, taking the total number of Free School Projects to four.
Through these four School Projects Koenig is supplementing school education of nearly 500 school students.
Vocational Training Project
Under this project, Koenig provides free computer training to unemployed adults in Delhi. Currently we train 20 adults every two months.
Koenig has chosen education as its vehicle for social upliftment. Giving food, clothes and shelter to the needy might help them for a day but if we give them knowledge and education, they will not need further help for a lifetime.
Imagine the scale of social upliftment if thousands of small enterprises (like Koenig) commit their resources and management skills to further the cause of education at the most deprived level. Imagine the possible change in social outlook.
Ms. Jyoti K. Singh – Executive Editor of Skills Ahead visited our CSR Vocational Project in Jan 2011 to study Koenig’s CSR Model. She personally talked to the faculty and students undergoing Hardware/Networking and MCSE Course run by Koenig CSR. Her visit and motivational talk made a great impact on all.
Apart from free education, Koenig also supports important community initiatives such as Blood Donation Camps.
Koenig CSR Organized a Blood Donation Camp at its Corporate Office, New Delhi on Wednesday, 20th Oct., 2010 in association with Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi. We received very enthusiastic response from Koenig-ites and a total of 33 members donated their blood for the needy.
Honestpedia.in
Koenig recently launched honestpedia.in. The objective of this website is to:
1. Help consumers find honest workers for hassle-free service
2. Help honest people get more work
This database will help people find workers who deliver exceptional service because they are intrinsically honest.
Services included are cab, utility repairs, house work support like plumbing, insurance, electronics, grocery, mobile/automobile repair etc.
Koenig's CSR efforts are guided by Koenig Ethos (a set of philosophical principles followed by everyone working at Koenig).
Koenig sees a direct relationship between honesty and business success.
