Altruist- saving the Planet
We recognize that environmental and resource-related issues pose a serious threat to the prosperity of society, and we are fully committed to helping resolve these issues through our business practices.
A team has been set up internally to keep a careful watch on the consumption of municipal electricity, oil, gas, etc., for the purpose of powering lights, air conditioning or other equipment. Altruist believes that it shall be reduced in order to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted.
We focus on reducing the volume of waste products, such as paper, plastics and iron scrap, resulting from corporate activities and recycling waste separation order to work towards a goal of producing zero emissions. For the reason, Altruist participated in E-Waste chapter of YI (Young Indian) association where we collected 50 KG of E-Waste. E-Waste collected was being offered by YI to an agency for recycling.
