As part of Unilever’s commitment “to make sustainable living a common place”, it has partnered with the Nepal Army towards the “Mountain Cleaning Campaign 2023”. The theme for this year is “An Endeavour to save the Himalayas”
This is Unilever’s third collaboration with the national cleanup program to keep the Himalayas clean from waste. The multi-stakeholder program is aimed at protecting the mountains and minimizing the effects of climate change by cleaning up peaks. This year the aim will be to clean Mt. Everest, Mt. Lotse, Mt. Annapurna & Mt. Baruntse and collect 35 Tons of garbage.
Carelessness in waste disposal is devastating the beauty of the mountains and threatening the health of our planet.Managing Director of Unilever Nepal Ltd., Mr. Amlan Mukherjee, stated that “through this continued collaboration we aim to set new records this year in collection, segregation, recycling of accumulated waste. Actions in service of Nepal by helping it sustain the pride for its peaks.
