India Corporate Social Responsibility

Xilinx’s corporate social responsibility program is a global initiative with a focus on improving education in local communities. The signature program is the Xilinx Educational Ecosystem, which the Hyderabad office implements in Indresham Primary School. In addition to education, Xilinx encourages employees to volunteer and give back in the areas of health, arts, and community and social service. The corporate social responsibility initiatives at each location are organized and executed by a team of employee volunteers. In Hyderabad, this team is called the Seva Team.
