Marico Limited, a leading FMCG company in India, celebrated its first-ever ‘Marico Impact Day’ by organizing a massive volunteering drive focused on environmental conservation. Over 200 volunteers, including Marico employees and their loved ones, participated in the clean-up drive across 9 cities, collecting over 500 kg of waste from lakes, rivers, and beaches. The initiative reflects Marico’s commitment to sustainability goals, aiming to create a positive impact on society and inspire responsible waste management. The company’s ESG 2.0 framework further demonstrates its dedication to reducing environmental impact and achieving net-zero emissions in India by 2030. Through partnerships with non-profit organizations, Marico aims to drive lasting change and foster a culture of cleanliness and sustainability. At the clean-up, volunteers from Ahmedabad, Coimbatore, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jalgao, Kolkata, Perundurai and Pondicherry spent the day cleaning the beaches, lakes, etc.
Speaking on the occasion, AmitBhasin, Chief Legal Officer & Group General Counsel and Secretary, CSR Committee, Marico Limited said, “At Marico, we strive to create a culture where all our members can bring their purpose and passion to life. ‘Marico Impact Day’ is a small initiative through which we aim to provide a platform to individuals to be a part of the change they wish to see in the world. The mega clean-up drive, organised as a part of this initiative, gave an opportunity to our members to make a direct, positive impact on the environment and communities. We hope it will inspire others to join our mission to build a cleaner and healthier future for all, and a more sustainable world.”
