Indian firm Indo Count top performer at Walmart sustainability summit

Walmart launched Project Gigaton in 2017 aiming to inspire suppliers to reduce upstream and downstream (beyond-the-shelf) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the global supply chain. Specifically, Project Gigaton’s goal is to reduce one billion metric tons, or one gigaton, of CO₂ emissions from the global supply chains by 2030.

Indo count is also supporting Walmart’s commitments on sustainable fibres, recyclable/sustainable packaging, and implementation of HIGG index. The company will continue to strive to help achieve Walmart’s goal of being a Regenerative Company, it said in a media release.

Commenting on the illustrious achievement, Mohit Jain, executive vice-chairman of Indo Count Industries Ltd said, “At Indo Count, sustainability is a part of our core culture and we have adopted it in every action and activity of our organisation. Our strategic endeavours to drive business growth have always ensured reduced environmental footprint and positive social impact. We are honoured to be associated with Walmart to take our common vision of sustainable initiatives forward.”
