“Tetra Pak is committed to follow the path of sustainable development by doing business in harmony with nature. To lead by example we have made a global pact with WWF to reduce our CO2 emissions by 10 percent by 2010; introduce a recycling programme that ensures an annually incremental number of used cartons are recovered and recycled; and to work with renewable materials and energy that don’t burden our planet’s finite resources. Moreover in our proposed workshops we will suggest low-carbon lifestyle choices that children and their parents can follow,” says Jaideep Gokhale, programme head, food for development office and environment, Tetra Pak India Pvt.
