Globally and in India there is a growing awareness on how environment issues are impacting business growth and sustainability of society as a whole. By investing in green initiatives, organizations can contribute to making a positive and meaningful impact towards climate change. In addition to making the world greener and more sustainable, this will also increase business efficiency, competitive agility, employee engagement, and growth. Ultimately, this builds trust among their stakeholders. A recent Deloitte survey found that 98% of consumers believe that brands have a responsibility to make the world better. Four in 10 say they prefer to buy sustainable goods, and a recent Deloitte survey found that 35% of consumer product executives believe that consumer attitudes do more to drive their companies toward sustainability than demands from investors, boards, or other stakeholders. World Environmental Health Day 2022 (September 26) is an opportunity for us to reflect on how we can make our earth a better, healthier place to live in. In recognition of this day, we promote awareness on various environmental health issues in a global setting. The International Federation of Environmental Health (IFEH Council) established World Environmental Health Day in 2011 as a global platform to discuss and implement actions people can take to protect the environment health at all levels.
