On June 6, 2024, a significant milestone was achieved as FICCI FLO Amritsar and UNEAKO signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at promoting zero-waste practices and empowering marginalized communities. The MOU signing ceremony marked a commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility, emphasizing the elimination of single-use plastics at future events organized by FLO Amritsar.
Key highlights of the initiative include the establishment of skill training programs for marginalized women, equipping them to produce sustainable goods. This initiative not only supports environmental conservation efforts but also enhances economic opportunities for vulnerable groups within the community.
With an mpact on 1000 beneficiaries, including marginalized communities and event attendees, the collaboration between FLO Amritsar and UNEAKO signifies a proactive step towards creating a more sustainable and inclusive society. This partnership aims to foster lasting change by promoting environmentally friendly practices and empowering marginalized groups through skills development and economic empowerment.
