On the occasion of World Environment Day 2025, CARE Hospitals took a powerful step toward environmental responsibility by launching a group-wide sustainability campaign under the theme “Ending Plastic Pollution.” The initiative reflects CARE’s deep commitment to delivering healthcare that’s not only people-focused, but also planet-friendly.
With a pledge to reduce plastic usage and promote eco-conscious practices, CARE Hospitals has become one of the first major healthcare providers in India to integrate environmental goals directly into its day-to-day operations.
A Greener Commitment Across Every Unit
The initiative kicked off with a symbolic yet impactful pledge ceremony, where employees from all CARE Hospitals locations committed to reducing plastic use and upholding eco-friendly values in their workplace. The event was inaugurated by Mr. Vishal Maheshwari, Group CFO, and attended by several senior leaders, including:
- Dr. Amit Singh, Chief Human Resources Officer
- Mr. Rajeev Chourey, Vice President – Quality, ESG & Operations
- Mr. Vinod Raman, Chief Technology Officer
- Ms. Vincy Ashok Tribhuvan, VP – Nursing Administration
- Mr. Shiva Kumar, VP – Projects & Engineering
Their collective presence and participation highlighted CARE’s leadership-driven approach to sustainability.
Action Beyond Words
CARE Hospitals didn’t stop at promises. Over several days, hospitals across its network hosted engaging, action-based programs that encouraged staff involvement and creativity. Activities included:
- Plastic usage audits to assess and reduce dependency
- Eco-friendly swaps for common plastic items
- Oration contests and green poster displays to spark dialogue
- “Plant a Memory” drive where employees planted saplings
- Green desk makeovers to encourage low-waste workspaces
Employees also shared visuals and ideas on minimizing plastic waste, showcasing how small steps can drive big change.
What the Leadership Had to Say
“Building a sustainable future isn’t just about profits—it’s about making a real difference to people and the planet,” said Mr. Vishal Maheshwari, Group CFO of CARE Hospitals. “This campaign reflects our commitment to responsible healthcare and lasting value.”
Mr. Rajeev Chourey, VP – Quality, ESG & Operations, added, “Sustainability is core to delivering quality healthcare. When hospitals commit to eco-friendly practices, the impact goes beyond patients—it touches the entire community.”
Healthcare That Heals People and the Planet
Through this initiative, CARE Hospitals reinforces its role as a socially responsible healthcare leader. With a strong network across 17 facilities in 7 cities, CARE is now setting an example not only in clinical care but also in environmental stewardship.
From patient treatment to sustainable operations, CARE is proving that modern healthcare can be clean, green, and community-driven.
