Hello and Namaste, Tunza Eco Generation Family Businesses and Environment are two contrasting topics and do not usually go hand in hand. Businesses usually neglects environment in my country and hence, Businessmen try to neglect environmental perspective while running their business. But still there are lots of businesses which consider environmental perspective and try to find eco- friendly initiatives in their daily operation. Some have incorporated Environment as their Corporate Social Responsibility and some have shifted recently to eco friendly products due to increasing consumer preference for such products. Many business companies have involved environment in their CSR in recent years, example: Uniliver, Starbucks, LendEDU and many more. Corporate social responsibility, or CSR, refers to the policies established and efforts taken by businesses to affect a positive impact on their local communities and the planet as a whole. It¡¯s a term heard in company boardrooms a lot these days as more and more executives become aware of the benefits of CSR programs to both the lives of their customers and their own companies¡¯ bottom lines.Through its Sustainable Living Plan, Unilever is leveraging its tremendous global influence to grow its business while ¡°decoupling our environmental footprint from our growth and increasing our positive social impact.¡± Starbucks rigorous green building practices had resulted in over 800 of its locations meeting the highly-recognized Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified rating.In January 2017, LendEDU announced that it had partnered with One Tree Planted to donate the funds needed to plant one tree for every LendEDU customer it helps in 2017. Besides them, Samsung has also established environment as its top priority through its Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) platform. Our environment is getting vulnerable day by days and we must take effective measures to conserve our environment and surrounding. Many Companies have shifted plastic packaging to eco friendly packaging material.
