Royal Enfield’s Social Mission is to empower over 100 Himalayan communities to become resilient in the face of climate change. The endeavour is also to encourage riders to ‘Leave every place better’ and catalyse a movement of one million riders to explore sustainably, regenerating the landscapes they ride through. It currently supports more than 50 projects across the Indian Himalayan region. Whether it is promoting rural sports and winter tourism through the ‘Ice Hockey League’, building a network of ‘Green Pitstops’ for travellers, conserving textile heritage by bringing together pastoral communities, artisans and designers through ‘The Himalayan Knot’, supporting filmmakers and creative practitioners with fellowships, or instituting a collective learning centre called ‘The Himalayan Hub’, the initiatives are wired to create learning and livelihood opportunities for local communities.
