There is a brave heart in every individual.

Godfrey Phillips India salutes the extraordinary courage exhibited by ordinary people in selflessly protecting and saving others lives.

Started in 1990, Godfrey Phillips Bravery Award is the only award of its kind instituted by a corporate house that recognises the acts of common people; irrespective of their age, gender or faith. Over the years, the Award has grown both in terms of stature and eminence. And now with Preity Zinta as the Bravery Ambassador, the movement takes the message of bravery to the masses further increasing their involvement and widening its scope with two initiatives - Blood Donation and Women Empowerment.

Godfrey Phillips Blood Donation Drive aims to educate, create awareness and sensitize the public on voluntary blood donation and on safe blood for all. Voluntary blood donation is bravery as it is selfless like other acts of Bravery and it saves lives. Godfrey Phillips Blood Donation Drive aims to bring to light the issues, motivate and encourage participation, and most important of all, call upon the conscience of the people to be selfless and caring towards others, thus creating an evolved and compassionate society.

The second initiative – Women Empowerment Project is aimed at making women economically self-sufficient and independent by providing them with vocational skills and training. This drive will help promote gender equality and redress power imbalances. Reputed NGO's like Charities Aids Foundation, Navjyoti, Vidya and others have joined hands with Godfrey Phillips India in this endeavour.
