Description: On the first episode of Talking Trends, HP India MD Ketan Patel, speaks to a special guest Dr. Aditi Haldar, Director, GRI South Asia, who is a global expert on Sustainability practices and has a Ph.D. in Environmental Science. Congratulating HP India for showing great momentum in a diverse country like India, she appreciates our Sustainability impact Report, which she believes tells a great story because we are practicing being a ‘sustainable and a just tech company’. In this engaging talk, Dr. Haldar lauds the vision of tech companies such as HP that have contributed immensely to keeping the world connected digitally. Empowering people digitally to exchange information, knowledge, and thought processes has ensured that the world doesn’t come to a stop, especially in midst of a crisis. Pointing out that so many COPs have happened around the world that the only ‘conclusion is no conclusion’, she emphasizes that climate action is imperative, and the world needs to go beyond negotiations and debates. While delving into how organizations such as HP need to contribute proactively to this great risk that is looming over us now and not sometime in the future, Ketan and Dr. Haldar agree that salespersons of tech companies is, "practice sustainability at an individual level, then merely preaching it to everybody”. This could be a small start to the bigger vision of achieving sustainability, which has become more home based in the post Covid world. By curtailing their own negative footprint on the environment, they can become sustainability promoters and sustainability champions in their own family, society, country, and the world at large.
