Fleetguard Filters Private Limited (FFPL), a Pune-headquartered filtration solutions manufacturer, has been awarded the Best CSR Project of the Year 2025 by UBS Forums for its impactful work in providing clean drinking water and sanitation facilities to underserved communities.

The recognition came at the 14th edition of the Corporate Social Responsibility Summit & Awards, held in Chennai earlier this month. The award was presented by Chief Guest Siddhartha Daga, Chief Impact Officer at Neomotion, to FFPL’s representatives, Avinash Mane, Deputy General Manager – HR & IR, and Priyanka Chavan, Assistant Manager – CSR.

Over the last two years, the company’s Clean Drinking Water & Sanitation Projects have directly benefitted around 60,000 people across Pune (Maharashtra), Hosur (Tamil Nadu), Sitarganj (Uttarakhand), and Jamshedpur (Jharkhand). The initiative included setting up R.O. plants, hand-wash stations, and toilets in schools and villages that previously lacked basic hygiene and water access.

“Initially, it was very difficult for students to have access to even such basic facilities; with this initiative, FFPL has addressed and supported the cause,” the company said in its statement.

Known for its long-standing CSR programmes in education, health, safety, rural development, environment, and cultural promotion, FFPL says the latest award reinforces its commitment to holistic societal development.

Founded in 1987 and partnered with Cummins Filtration U.S.A. (now Atmus Filtration Technologies), FFPL is a leading name in filtration solutions for on- and off-highway applications, with a strong focus on innovation and R&D.

UBS Forums, which hosts the annual CSR Summit & Awards, recognises organisations that deliver measurable and sustainable social impact through their community initiatives.
