KARACHI: Daraz Thursday celebrated World Environment Day by hosting an Environment Day Drive in collaboration with other entities at the Sea View.

The vibrant event began in the morning, where hundreds of people gathered for a beach-cleaning and awareness campaign about environmental sustainability. This colorful ceremony concluded with some entertaining engagements, giveaways, refreshments and a photo-session.

Daraz says that the pollution levels in Pakistan must be reduced, through collective efforts, to ensure a safe and healthy future for the whole world. Over the past year, Daraz has been consciously trying to reduce its carbon footprint by using more sustainable materials in its packaging. In the past 12 months alone, Daraz was able to save 600 tons of carbon emission through using recycled packaging.

The Managing Director of Daraz Pakistan, Ehsan Saya, stated that, “Daraz hosts 19 million people on its platform, every month, we are inspired to contribute towards social wellbeing, with a vision for saving the planet.”

The spirit of giving back to the community and the happiness of our customers is our highest priority. Over the years, Daraz has been generously contributing towards environmental-protection, education, healthcare, empowerment, financial-inclusion and poverty-alleviation to ensure a healthier and progressive future, he added.
