Mumbai: Honeywell announced that it will donate $1 million to assist with relief efforts for areas damaged by the recent tsunamis in Asia. The donation, made through the company's Honeywell Hometown Solutions initiative, will target programmes to rebuild damaged and destroyed communities and provide basic necessities for people who have been most severely affected by the disaster.

"A tragedy of this scale requires corporate leadership on a global basis," said Dave Cote, CEO, Honeywell. "Honeywell will work with local organisations to leverage our expertise in housing and shelter to help rebuild communities in South Asia. Many of our employees have already undertaken projects to support this rebuilding effort and we are helping to facilitate voluntary payroll deductions."

A Honeywell team of employee volunteers from Bangalore, India is supporting a 90-day construction effort to rebuild 50 houses in one of the most severely affected villages. Separately, each of Honeywell's 1,500 employees in Pune, India has agreed to donate one day's salary to relief efforts. Teams of employees have also delivered clothes, utensils and other basic amenities to the affected village of Kulachol, India.

Honeywell International is a $25 billion diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; turbochargers; and specialty materials.
