Indian Pharmaceutical Company to Make 2 Million+ Meals Meat-free Every Year

Hetero, one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in India, will now serve meat-free meals to their employees every day to reduce their environmental footprint. Once fully rolled out to all locations, over 2 million meals will be made meat-free every year. Vegan Outreach worked with the company to implement this sustainable food policy as part of its Green Tuesday  Initiative campaign and will also organize employee awareness sessions on animal agriculture and its environmental impact. 
This change will make a big impact by reducing the suffering of animals in India. This sustainable food policy will also contribute to the wellness of employees and help the environment. Animal agriculture is one of the largest contributors of human-made greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, water pollution, and air pollution. Worldwide, meat and dairy production uses 83% of farmland and produces 60% of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions.
