Empowering Women and Ecosystems Water hyacinths have devastated native ecosystems in over 50 countries, spreading uncontrollably. Rokhak Women Handicraft addresses this issue by removing these invasive plants from the environment and employing Cambodian women to transform them into bags and rugs. This initiative not only helps restore ecosystems but also provides sustainable livelihoods for local women. Any views? #Sustainability #Empowerment #EcoFriendly #ecosystem #environment

Through the Karamoja Youth Livelihood Initiative (KYLI) , we successfully organized a community cleanup activity in Moroto District, Karamoja Subregion, under the theme ‘The Clean Environment We All Deserve’ 🧹. This initiative brought together passionate youth from Cingular village 👥, all committed to making a positive impact on our environment 🌱. While we all dream of living in a clean and green world, it’s a dream we can make a reality by adopting simple, everyday environmental habits: Dispose of all waste properly 🗑️, using dustbins, rubbish pits, etc. Avoid littering—let's stop throwing empty bottles and plastic bags 🛍️ out of car windows 🚗. Reduce the use of polythene bags (kavera) 🚫. Instead, opt for reusable bags ♻️ for your daily shopping. Let’s take these small steps towards a cleaner and greener Karamoja 🌳 and protect Mother Earth 🌍. Stay tuned for more initiatives and join us in making a difference.

"It's the little things citizens do. That's what will make the difference. My little thing is planting trees." - Wangari Maathai Sustainability is not just a goal; it’s a journey made up of countless small actions. From everything I have seen, I believe there are no shortcuts in life; which is why commitment to sustainable practices that benefit both businesses and our communities should be one and the same. Our initiatives should be part of a broader commitment to environmental stewardship and economic growth. Together, these efforts help us build a sustainable future for Malawi. #Sustainability #Growth

Every person planting a tree is a revolution. -Jitender Aggarwal, CMD, AGGCON Under our Environmental Goals, AGGCON runs a CSR project - “Tree of Friendship”, a special initiative started by Mr Jitender Aggarwal under which we do plantation of trees at all project sites and nurture them as mark of solidarity with our clients and to sensitize people to plant trees for healing the earth and environment. We also gift plants to every visitor at our office and to people. On this World Environment Day 2024, we got 2000 planted. We are glad to share that we gifted a Tree of Friendship to Afcons Infrastructures Limited at their site where we are working. This tree now will be planted in earth there and will be nurtured jointly by AGGCON and AFCONS Infrastructure Limited - A Shapoorji Pallonji Group Company teams. Trees are important and integral part of our lives and very important pillars to fight climate change and conserve our environment. PM Modi’s ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign underlines the significance of growing trees as trees are important to fight against climatic change and sustainability. PM Narendra Modi has also asked people to adopt LiFE, or lifestyle for environment and said that many problems would be automatically resolved when life-style and businesses both become pro-planet. #TreeOfFriendship #AGGCONCSR #AfconsInfrastructure #WorldEnvironmentDay2024 #SustainableFuture #PlantATree #GreenInitiatives #CombatClimateChange #EnvironmentalGoals #EkPedMaaKeNaam #LiFEProPlanet #EcoFriendly #GoGreen #NatureNurture #CSRProjects #ClimateAction #GreenEarth #JitenderAggarwal #Sustainability

Forest to Fashion. You see, the population of our forest villages is increasing and the forest resources are depleting. These villages have a high dependency on the forests for their livelihood. They cannot be blamed entirely as there are not enough alternate opportunities. We are on a mission to create enough dignified & sustainable livelihood opportunities so that their dependency on the forests drops down drastically. And to create prosperity and social impact at scale. We have a set target to engage: 1. 1000 artisans by 2026 2. 10000 artisans by 2036 3. 20000 artisans by 2046 #sustainability #fashionforbiodiversity #luxury
