Reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability and community engagement, on the occasion of World Earth Day, Cosmo Foundation organised multi-location initiativesengaging employees, community, and school children to promote environmental sustainability andbehavior change under its theme ‘Nurture Earth’.
Cosmo Foundation marked World Earth Day with community-led environmental initiatives across Maharashtra and Gujarat under its Nurture Earth theme.
In Maharashtra, the Foundation organised a seed ball making workshop at the Cosmo Biodiversity Hub in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in collaboration with Prayas Youth Foundation. Employees of Cosmo First participated in the activity and prepared more than 800 native species seed balls for dispersal in degraded land patches around the forest area to support afforestation and biodiversity revival.
As part of the same initiative, Cosmo First employees also took part in a tree plantation drive at the Biodiversity Hub, planting around 30 saplings.
In Gujarat, Cosmo Foundation worked with the Gram Panchayat of Sambhoi for a community wall painting activity based on the Nurture Earth theme. Local children and villagers painted messages focused on waste segregation, water conservation, and tree protection, creating a visible reminder for the community.
The Foundation also felicitated students from government primary schools as Cleanliness Ambassadors. These students were recognised for leading cleanliness drives, single use plastic free campaigns, and plantation activities in their schools and villages.
Yamini Kumar Jaipuria, Managing Trustee, Cosmo Foundation and Whole-time Director, Corporate Strategy, ESG and CSR, Cosmo First, said, “At Cosmo Foundation, environmental sustainability is not a one-day event but a continuous commitment. From planting 1,61,000 trees, including Miyawaki forests, to nurturing green spaces and driving awareness, we believe real change happens when communities participate. Through employee volunteering, Gram Panchayat partnerships, and empowering school children as Cleanliness Ambassadors, we are sowing seeds of responsibility for a greener, cleaner tomorrow. Our goal is simple, Nurture Earth through action, education, and collective will.”
Cosmo Foundation’s environment work is focused on four areas: plantation and biodiversity, green spaces creation, green energy, and water conservation. Through these initiatives, the Foundation said it aims to build grassroots participation and encourage sustainable practices aligned with environmental conservation goals.
