Congratulations climate champions!
For their efforts to preserve the environment and mitigate risks of climate change, three companies, a rehabilitation centre for the paralysed and two individuals were recognised as climate champions by HSBC Bangladesh and The Daily Star. We congratulate all the winners of the awards and also those who were in the running for their laudable efforts and innovative initiatives.
From reducing energy and water consumption in their factories, to planting and listing trees, these private companies and individuals have proven that through sincere efforts, we can, indeed, make a difference when it comes to protecting nature, which in turn protects us. And at a time of great environmental challenges, such as that which we are currently experiencing, these endeavours are certainly invaluable and cannot, in any way, be overestimated.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. Over the years, we have witnessed many private companies adopting green initiatives and working hard towards minimising any harmful affects their businesses and their functioning may have on the overall environment. Encouragingly, we have also seen many individuals step up to the plate to safeguard nature as well. We believe that their examples are clearly worth emulating and hope that more private companies and individuals will do so in future.
And because these endeavours from private companies and individuals are so important for our future, we hope that they will also be better recognised and highlighted by the media, government and society in general.
