Green Is The New Black

Why green manufacturing and sustainability matter

- Sujatha Vishnuraj

Only one Earth
In the universe are billions of galaxies,
In our galaxy are billions of planets,
But there is #OnlyOneEarth.
Let’s take care of it.

Reads United Nations message for World Environment day 2022. To quote the UN, Earth faces a triple planetary emergency:

• the climate is heating up too quickly for people and nature to adapt;

• habitat loss and other pressures mean an estimated 1 million species are threatened with extinction;

• pollution continues to poison our air, land and water. The way out of this dilemma is to transform our economies and societies to make them inclusive, fair and more connected with nature. We must shift from harming the planet to healing it.

The good news is the solutions and the technology exist and are increasingly affordable. Zurvan H. Marolia, Sr. Vice President & Head of Manufacturing Council, Godrej & Boyce agrees, In today’s world sustainability and reduced environmental footprint is becoming increasingly important for businesses to succeed as it supports the growth of the company and improves cost-efficiency.”

#OnlyOneEarth is the campaign for World Environment Day 2022. It calls for collective, transformative action on a global scale to celebrate, protect and restore our planet.
