Ahmedabad based Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd plans to celebrate ‘World Environment Day’, which is observed on June 5, by launching the ‘Save Paper Campaign’ to reduce the consumption of paper at its various premises. Further, the company has also embarked on tree plantation drive, organise quiz and drawing competitions at its premises in Bhat, Ankleshwar, Dholka and Hirapur. The objective of the Campaign is to increase awareness towards saving the environment.

“We firmly believe in preserving our environment and have taken various initiatives to make the world greener. Every year, we have been carrying out various awareness activities. This year, besides a tree plantation drive, we have designed a campaign to make employees aware about reducing the consumption of paper in form of printouts and photocopies and urge them to be conservative when it comes to printing documents”, said, Dr. Rajiv Modi, chairman and managing director, Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

Last year, the employees at Cadila Pharmaceuticals had taken a pledge to save water and power, plant more trees, stop using plastic bags and save paper. Taking it forward, the company is running a sustained mail campaign that conveys the impact on environment, arising out of the simple, yet indiscriminate use of paper at their various office premises. Through its Save Paper campaign – the company intends to drive home the point and motivate its employees to be conscious of the environment and print only if necessary. Just a simple conscious act by each and everyone at Cadila Pharmaceuticals, will contribute in doing their bit for the environment and thereby conserving trees, water and reducing harmful CO2 emissions.
