Unilever, NA collaborate for Kanchenjunga clean-up campaign

KATHMANDU: Unilever Nepal has joined hands with Nepali Army for the 'Mountain Clean-up Campaign 2022' as part of its commitment to making sustainable living a commonplace. This is Unilever’s second collaboration with the national clean-up programme to keep the Himalayas clean from waste. The multi-stakeholder programme aims at protecting the mountains and minimising the effects of climate change by cleaning up peaks. Transitioning to a circular economy approach is at the heart of Unilever’s Strategy for a waste-free world. Carelessness in waste disposal is devastating the beauty of the mountains and threatening the health of our planet. In an event organised at the Army Headquarters in Kathmandu, Brigadier General Himanshu Khadka, Director of the Directorate of National Parks and Wildlife Reserve congratulated the Unilever Nepal team. “It needs credible and committed partnership for making the mountain clean-up campaign successful and we are pleased to partner with Unilever in Nepal,” Brigadier General Khadka said. Managing Director of Unilever Nepal, Amlan Mukherjee, stated, “Through this continued collaboration we aim to set new records this year in collection, segregation, recycling of accumulated waste. Unilever could not have found a better cause than to clean the revered Kanchenjunga." Unilever aims to work hard to tackle plastic packaging waste, particularly through partnerships and collaborations that drive change beyond their own operations. The ultimate aim is to create a circular economy system for waste management. “We are committed to making a sustainable living commonplace for everyone, and we will continuously engage in programmes like this in the days to come,” said Mukherjee.
