GREEN CONCEPTS IMPLEMENTED AT THE STORE

• The lighting used in the store is energy-efficient compact fluorescent lights (CFL) that consume 75% - 80% less energy and last up to ten times longer than incandescent bulbs.
• The air-conditioning has a four-star rating, saving approximately 1500 watts per day by consuming half the energy of a normal AC.
• Zero-Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) paints used in the store are non-toxic and do not deplete the ozone layer. The paint is sourced locally, which means less transportation and reduced carbon footprint.
• Carry bags are made from 75% recycled paper to help optimize the sustainability of packaging materials.
• Display units within the store are made from Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), which is produced using wood waste and wood chippings that occur during the primary use of wood.

Inaugurating the store, Mr . Saket Gore , Business Head, Consumer Product Division, The Himalaya Drug Company, said, “We work very closely with nature since all our products are derived from herbs and plants. As such, we are strongly committed to doing our best to protect the planet – whether it is through promoting organic farming, preserving biodiversity, rainwater harvesting or moving towards greater energy efficiency in all our operations. By incorporating green elements in our retail outlets, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint. This ‘greening the store' initiative will be rolled out across stores and will be part and parcel of all our new outlets. While there is always scope for improvement, we believe every small step helps save the planet and makes a big difference in the long run!”
