Today is the World Environment Day. At this moment, this day is not just a mere ritual for celebration, but a serious moment to think about ho we can bring in a better system of living is that the world can survive with a clean prospect in future. And the moment to adopt those measures is not in future, but now. To keep the environment sustainable is no longer an option, but a mandatory adoption.
On this occasion, several industry leaders have expressed their comments, which are given below.
“On World Environment Day, we’re reminded that true innovation must be sustainable at its core. At RackBank, our carbon-neutral AI datacentres reflect this belief – combining performance with purpose. Our patented Varuna Liquid Immersion Cooling System not only reduces cooling costs by up to 70%, but also significantly improves energy efficiency, helping us and our clients minimize environmental impact. Our approach to sustainable technology goes beyond energy – it includes thoughtful resource management across the infrastructure lifecycle, including efforts to reduce material and plastic waste. We are minimising the use of single-use plastics, optimising material reuse and adopting eco-conscious alternatives across our data center operations and deployment practices. By rethinking how we build, power and scale digital infrastructure, we are proving that technology can grow without compromising the health of our planet. Sustainability isn’t a side initiative – it’s a design principle.” – Narendra Sen, Founder & CEO, RackBank

“Plastic pollution is choking our planet, harming ecosystems, well-being, and the climate. Plastic waste clogs rivers, pollutes the ocean, and endangers wildlife. While steps are being taken towards reusability, reducing single-use plastics, and improving waste management, we must go further, faster. GIS can help us achieve more impactful outcomes. Through GIS, we can map plastic pollution hotspots, monitor waste flows, and identify gaps in infrastructure. This location intelligence equips governments, businesses, and communities with the insights needed to act swiftly and strategically. At Esri India, we are committed to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals by empowering stakeholders with the geospatial tools required to drive impactful, data-driven environmental action. Ending plastic pollution begins with understanding where it exists and how it moves—and GIS helps us do exactly that.” – Agendra Kumar, MD, Esri India
“The importance of World Environment Day continues to grow as emissions increase every year. The urgency to find an environmentally cleaner way of life has never been greater. The focus must be on climate solutions we can adopt and scale right now even as newer solutions emerge and become economically viable. Academic institutions must ensure that all graduating students understand climate change and have deep knowledge of climate solutions. This is not a competitive game – we will win only if we work together in the true spirit of collaboration.” – Dr. Anirban Ghosh, Professor and Head, Centre for Sustainability, Mahindra University
“At IDEMIA Secure Transactions (IST), environmental sustainability is thought into everything we do. On World Environment Day, we reaffirm our commitment to reducing environmental impact across our operations, from eco-designed products to improved manufacturing and service processes.
