The impact of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to promote simplicity and responsible spending is now visible in the corporate sector as well. RPG Group, one of the largest business groups in the country, has issued new guidelines for its employees and group companies. In this, emphasis has been laid on reducing unnecessary expenses, reducing travel and promoting work from home.
Harsh Goenka issued a message
RPG Group Chairman Harsh Goenka said in a message sent to senior officials that the Prime Minister has talked about a new focus on responsible use of resources and simplicity in the country. In such a situation, group companies should also come forward and set an example. Goenka said that this is not just a matter of reducing expenses, but is also an important step towards developing a responsible and better work culture.
Work from home will get a boost
The group has clearly said that employees whose work can be done from home should be encouraged to work from home. The company believes that this will reduce travel expenses and also save resources. Apart from this, instructions have been given to promote virtual meetings so that the need to travel for meetings in different cities is reduced.

Reduction in foreign and domestic travel
RPG Group has asked employees to limit their foreign trips to extremely important matters. Instructions have also been given to make major cuts in domestic air travel. The company said that wherever possible, online meetings and digital communication should be used. This will save both time and expense.
Emphasis on electric vehicles
The group has asked to speed up the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles to promote environment-friendly transport. According to the company, vehicles purchased or leased in future should be electric or hybrid. Employees have also been advised to use carpooling and public transport. The company says that these steps will help in national interest as well as in creating a better and responsible corporate culture.
