Green Persistent Movement 

As an organization Persistent believes that reducing global warming is our social responsibility and we must do our part to make our planet a better place to live. As a result, we have launched the Green Persistent Movement where we have planned a number of initiatives that would help us make Persistent Green and contribute to a greener planet.

Persistent Green Initiatives:

• Conservation Of Energy
  The Conservation of Energy campaign was introduced to bring down overall energy consumption at the Persistent offices by encouraging employees to:
  • Switch off their computers at the end of their workday to achieve 100% CPU Energy Conservation
  • Refrain from using hand dryers in restrooms and cafeterias, and switch off cubicle lights when not in use
  • Refrain from using elevators on No Lift Day
   
• Conservation Of Trees
  The Conservation of Trees campaign aims to spread awareness about tree conservation. Employees are encouraged to:
  • Plant at least one sapling in their vicinity – to date Persistent has distributed more than 1600 saplings
  • Reduce paper wastage and make prints only when necessary; Persistent organizes “No Printer Days” to promote awareness
   
• Pollution Control
  The Pollution Control campaign was introduced to promote pollution control activities. Employees are encouraged to:
  • Get a PUC Check done for their vehicles so that they minimize air pollution – Persistent organizes Free PUC Check up Camps to facilitate this
  • Refrain from smoking on “No Smoking” days
  • Carpool to minimize emissions that affect the environment from car and motorcycle emissions. Persistent facilitated this by creating a Car/Bike Pool Page that enables employees to search for Persistent colleagues who live in the same area and who are willing to share their vehicles
   
• Waste Management
  The Waste Management initiative aims to ensure the waste reduction at all levels in our routine activities. Persistent employees are encouraged to:
  • Minimize the amount of food wasted during meals
  • Refrain from carrying plastic bags and carry cloth or paper bags wherever possible; Persistent organizes “No Plastic Days” to promote awareness of using plastic
  • Recycle paper by using both sides
