Though it may be just a daily affair at Mother Dairy, the Milk Giant, selling almost 11 lacs of loose pasteurized and homogenized milk every day through an extensive incomparable network of almost 750 booths, 25 mini milk shops, 1,400 Insulated container outlets and 800 container on wheels, covering the remotest corners of Delhi, where even a two wheeler can’t pass and yet contributing to a larger cause of Green environment. By doing so, it’s not only providing nutritious unadulterated, hygienic milk to every section of society but also modestly helping the society in saving 1,700 tons of plastic every year from getting into the environment.

To commemorate the Environment Day, Mother Dairy attributed this noble cause to its Bulk Vended Milk Consumers and celebrated their role as “Mascots of Environment Friendly Vended Milk” through a signature campaign. This event witnessed a massive gathering at Mother Dairy outlets followed with lacs of signatures of consumers who pledged for a better environment.

Overwhelmed by the cause and the occasion, the company spokesperson said: “Every day when more than 6 lac consumers walk to the Mother Dairy outlet to purchase the bulk vended loose milk they contribute significantly to the environment by saving tons of plastic from getting into the society at large. On Environment day, we salute those consumers who have been with us for the last 38 years to contribute towards greener society for tomorrow.”

Many organizations today contribute a part of their profits towards CSR, but at Mother Dairy the operation in itself is a CSR, allowing less plastic from getting into the society and servicing the consumer in the remotest corner of Delhi.

Truly, Mother Dairy consumers leave a Green footprint everyday by reassuring their trust on bulk vended loose milk.
