Reduce, Rescue, Recycle, Recover
C.P. Gurnani, MD and CEO, Tech Mahindra firmly believes that the 4R mantra of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover is the only way to restore the world of yesterday.
Living in the era of innovative technologies, from introducing hybrid-electric equipment and fully electrifying operations to boosting efficiency through digitisation, advanced analytics and AI, India is poised to witness a lower-carbon future. While acknowledging with pride, the demonstrated work done by Tech Mahindra in the sphere of sustainability, ESG and CSR, C. P. Gurnani said, “Sustainability is not corporate but it has become personal.”
Adding further to it, he said that around 150,000 Tech Mahindra associates including all stakeholders take pride in bragging about all the initiatives we lead.
Linking the core idea of sustainability with one of his childhood anecdotes, Tech Mahindra’s Gurnani said, “My mother used to buy me clothes which were one size larger so that she will be able to sustain them for a much longer time period.”
GreenTech push
“To be able to extend the life of any product where not only one can sustain it but will also be able to reuse it,” C .P. Gurnani defined sustainability in his own words. He candidly shared his insights and mentioned that the pandemic has exposed the fracture in our society. “We are conscious that we created this mess, inequitable growth, and imbalance,” he added.
Organisations can play a vital role in bringing transformations across levels. Gurnani emphasised utilising technology in a systematic way to measure carbon emissions and track them.
Today’s environment of data, blockchain and artificial intelligence gives corporations plenty of opportunities to create measuring metrics to lead GreenTech corporates initiatives.
Greener Future Gurnani called for a promise and stated, “We as leaders shall drive passion for purpose and influence people to make sustainability a personal initiative.
Organisations, ESG funds, employees and toptier leaders have realised that ‘the resources are limited’. Corporates can help the ecosystem to revive by bringing in purpose-led ESG plans empowering all three pillars.”
