We have just one Earth to live and it’s our duty to take care of her. Since recently we have started getting aware of the damages done by mankind and the imposing threats of modernization. Ozone hole, Global Warming, etc. are just some of the symptoms; we have to treat the root cause.
We at Kyoto believe that we can contribute in whatever small way to alleviate the problem and have been working towards the goal of becoming green. We have defined policies for adapting efficient resource usage practices; a Green Committee is formed that conducts awareness sessions and encourages Kyoto members to follow and help the social responsibility.
