Ongoing engagement in ecosystem conservation activities such as restoration of forests through tree planting and environmental cleanup activities near local communities.
Resource Use
and Circular Economy
Inhouse campaigns for employees such as campaign to eradicate disposable cups, Zero food waste campaign, etc.
Promoting 3R (Recycle, Reduce, Reuse) strategy to minimize resources used in packaging of products.
Strategy | Recycle | Reduce | Reuse |
---|---|---|---|
Actions | Use of green materials Improving recyclability |
Lighter packaging Minimizing the use of plastic |
Reuse of packaging |
Implementation details | Expanded use of eco-friendly packaging (cartons) Tear tapes applied Use of packaging that allows separated disposal |
Expanding the product ranges applying manual pack Sustainable shrink films Use of lighter pads |
Launching products designed for refills for reuse of applicators |
