“On this World Environment Day, we urge everyone to work together to achieve a plastic-free planet, in line with the theme ‘Ending Global Plastic Pollution’. Plastic waste—from industrial activities to everyday single-use items—ends up in oceans and rivers, harming ecosystems and communities. It’s time to embrace alternatives and foster sustainable habits at every level.
At Aarthi Scans and Labs, we’ve reduced PVC film usage by 7%, cutting down about 2,600 kg of plastic films through digital sharing of CT and MRI scans. We have also retrofitted our diagnostic centres with LEDs, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and solar panels, reducing energy bills by 12%.
We must all go beyond this by promoting reusable materials such as jute, glass, steel, and paper, and by strengthening recycling systems. Together, we can make a real difference and create a greener, cleaner world,” says V. Govindarajan, Founder and Managing Director, Aarthi Scans and Labs
Srinivas Chamarthy - Senior Vice President Engineering, Site lead and Country Head, Diligent India. “World Environment Day acts as a reminder that protecting the planet is a shared responsibility, giving both individuals and institutions the opportunity to be agents of change. That said, at the heart of everything we do at Diligent India is our commitment towards supporting environmental sustainability and contributing to community welfare.
We believe in encouraging our employees to support the local communities and take small steps towards preserving the environment. Recently, as part of Global Day of Service, we initiated a lake restoration project at Iblur Lake in Bellandur, Bengaluru. Over 180 employees came together to help restore the lake by installing floating gardens - an ecological intervention designed to de-silt the waterbody, improve water quality, and revive biodiversity.
Building on this momentum, and in line with World Environment Day, we are also engaging employees through an awareness session focused on the importance of waste segregation and sustainable practices. As part of this, we’re hosting a hands-on workshop on making planters from discarded plastic bottles—promoting recycling and reusing everyday materials. Through these ongoing efforts, we aim to foster a culture of responsible citizenship and environmental stewardship within our organization.”
