This World Environment Day, Cairn joined the global movement to ‘Beat Plastic Pollution’ with a series of spirited, purpose-driven activities across our operational sites. Through collaborative actions involving employees, business partners and communities, we reaffirmed our dedication to sustainability and environmental consciousness. From awareness campaigns to creative competitions and community outreach, our celebrations were a reflection of Cairn’s commitment to creating a greener, cleaner future.
Green Run at Mangala Processing Terminal
On June 5, the Mangala Processing Terminal came alive with the energy of the 5-km Green Run where employees and business partners ran in unison to raise environmental awareness. Emphasising our SUP-Free (Single Use Plastic Free) commitment, all participants received reusable cloth bags reinforcing the message to move away from single-use plastics in both professional and personal spaces.
Tree Plantation Drives across Operations and Communities
In our continued effort to restore ecological balance, plantation drives were conducted across our operational locations and Barmer Nand Ghars. These drives symbolised our commitment to nurturing green spaces and safeguarding biodiversity contributing meaningfully to the planet’s ecological health.
Inspiring Actions at Nand Ghars
Our employees, along with their families visited Nand Ghars in Barmer to engage meaningfully with women and children. The visits included eco-themed games and drawing sessions, awareness talks on reducing plastic use and distribution of ‘parindeys’ (bird water feeders) and cloth bags. These activities promoted an environmentally conscious lifestyle rooted in practical action and community inclusion.

Collaboration with Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board
In collaboration with the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board, we extended our sustainability efforts to the community. Student-led initiatives at the Cairn Enterprise Centre in Barmer involved distributing cloth bags and organizing a creative Best Out of Waste model competition. Students explored practical environmental solutions while reinforcing their understanding of eco-friendly practices.
Encouraging Community Action
At the Barmer District Hospital, 62 sanitation workers delivered impactful street plays and skits that stirred awareness about cleanliness and environmental responsibility. Our 7 Mobile Health Vans conducted plantation drives and awareness sessions with enthusiastic participation from stakeholders. Under the Barmer Unnati Project, we also hosted a painting competition and distributed gifts to children. To further promote sustainability, neem saplings were gifted to 50 families spreading the message of green living at the grassroots.
Together, we’ve taken meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future. Let’s continue to lead by example and make every day an opportunity to protect and preserve our environment.
