Eco Friendly Brands Paving The Way For A Greener Earth
April 22 also known as 'Earth Day' marks the annual celebration of Mother Earth and the largest fight against carbon emissions and climate change.
Every year on this day a global movement takes place where communities across the world take a stand by doing their part in making the planet a 'greener' place for generations to come. Considering how massive global migration has become, some companies are also making a stand towards creating and using eco-friendly products, hence minimizing their carbon footprint and doing their bit to protect the earth. Take a look at some of the most environmentally friendly brands that have changed the way companies operate and contribute today.
WIPRO
From cutting carbon emissions and sourcing energy from renewable sources, WIPRO led the activism against greenhouse gases. Ranked number 1 in the 18th edition of the ‘Greenpeace’s Guide to Greener Electronics’ and scoring high points (7.1), WIPRO was once under attack by Greenpeace for its highly toxic electronics. By producing computers free of toxics, WIPRO gave an exemplary performance in reaction to the charge brought against them. The company has also introduced an effective take-back policy on the collection and recycling of post-consumer e-waste.
STELLA McCARTNEY

The leading fashion designer is renowned for her eco-friendly ways. Her company’s UK based studio and office are powered by wind energy. Stella’s views about saving the planet reflect in her collections. With the use of as much organic cotton as possible in the garments to use of more natural and renewable resources for her handbags and eye wear collection, Stella’s efforts are one to be admired. For her efforts in conservation of resources, Stella was honoured by the Natural Resources and Defense Council, New York in 2009.
JOHNSON & JOHNSON

From producing better boxes and bottles to generating solar energy, and using more than 2,000 hybrid vehicles, working in buildings powered with clean energy, Johnson & Johnson companies are taking steps to reduce their environmental impact and bringing about the much needed change in their own way
