SPJIMR Launches Waste Management Project To Promote Sustainability

In tandem with our sustainability and environmental responsibility values, we launched an internal waste management initiative to cut greenhouse gas emissions  in collaboration with the Ekonnect Knowledge Foundation and RUR Greenlife Private Limited. 

Sponsored by the H. T. Parekh Foundation the initiative’s goal is to prevent bio-waste from reaching landfills by segregating garbage at the collection stage itself.


Housekeeping staff,  who will be an integral part of the implementation, will be trained in waste segregation and will be provided additional income opportunities.
