Below The Quote on World environment day 2025 : Ms. Apurva Rathod, Company Secretary and Chief Sustainability Officer, L&T Finance Ltd

"As sustainability leaders, we carry the responsibility to move beyond awareness to urgent action against many sustainability topics/aspects, including plastic pollution. The use of single-use plastic has resulted in an environmental crisis that is now impacting human health, biodiversity, and the overall well-being of our planet. From clogging waterways and choking marine life to microplastics entering our food chain, the impact is far-reaching and deeply concerning.

If we do not act now, the damage could soon become irreversible. It is not just an environmental challenge, it is also a social, economic, and public health issue. While policy changes and innovations in sustainable packaging are critical, real change will begin with accountability, adaptability, and collective commitment.

‘The time to act is now’ Whether it’s through reducing plastic use, supporting circular economy models, or driving behavioural change, every step counts. The future demands leadership and decisive steps for a cleaner, healthier tomorrow.

Acting now isn’t just a choice—it’s a necessity."
