We believe United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals need to become a way of life. Elephant has always believed in Gender Equality (SDG 5). We are quite proud of our 50-50 ratio and equal pay policy that was in place since the company’s inception in 1989.
Elephant has been a zero wet waste company since 2016. We replaced plastic plates & cutlery with sustainable alternatives since 2017. However, this year we took some more steps. We reduced the use of paper cups by 90% and also managed to completely do away with single use plastic water bottles. All these actions align with SDG 11 - Sustainable Cities & Communities and we hope more companies join us in making better choices.
We are also EcoVadis certified for 2019, a global sustainability compliance framework which covers 21 criteria across four themes of environment, fair labour & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
