Corporates going ECO Friendly

Today we all can see various corporate companies are using various ways to go green like using solar energy, constructing smart buildings, collecting litter.

Johnson and Johnson Ltd’s  Mumbai, where biodegradable waste is recycled, Wipro has joined hands with WWF India, one of the largest conservation organizations in the country, to directly deal with issues of climate change, water and waste management and biodiversity conservation. Infosis coordinates projects related to the ‘4R’ principle: Refuse – Reduce – Reuse – Recycle, they banned the use of polythene bags on the campus and have also initiated a Food Reuse project to deliver surplus food from the cafeteria at the Bangalore DC to hospitals and destitute homes.


As far as the hospitality industry is concerned, the list of initiatives taken by the hoteliers to conserve the environment is exhaustive. The Orchid, an Eco-tel hotel in Mumbai is a best example of this. From the basic architecture of the building, to water conservation, to use of rubber wood instead of real wood, to use of energy saving devices, the hotel does it all to qualify as an eco friendly hotel. They reuse biodegradable waste generated in their hotels and also deploy various techniques to conserve water.

Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has launched a host of products like wind electric generators, solar heating systems, solar photovoltaic systems, solar lanterns and battery powered road vehicles in a bid to conserve the environment.
Many savvy companies realized that investing in green product development would pay off, and lines of eco-friendly products can be found in many regions of the world today as a result. These products are usually made in factories which are environmentally friendly, such as facilities built from recycled materials which use solar panels for power, and they are made from components which are also good for the environment, like plant-sourced ingredients for soaps, or recycled metal for electronics. Product packaging, advertisements, and other materials may also be eco-friendly.
people who are really committed to the environment need to modify their lifestyles, reducing the amount of resources they use by living more efficiently.
