In some latest news, Chennai-based company, Kothari Petrochemicals has bought all of its 142 employees, brand new Hercules bicycles. This is a great initiative for big organisations to follow. Automobiles are a significant source of air, land and noise pollution. With the prominent nations in the world aiming to reduce their carbon footprints, stringent emission regulations come into effect every single year. That has propelled the automobile industry to shift quickly towards electrified vehicles. To meet the climate targets, we all have to do our bit.

Company In Chennai Gifts Bicycles To Its Employees
Kothari Petrochemicals have their manufacturing plant in the industrial district of Manali, Chennai. A leading manufacturer of PIB (Polyisobutylene), the company has gifted all its 142 employees, bicycles to commute. PIB is used to produce adhesives, lubricants, sealants, fuel additives, etc. With the company expanding, it is ensuring that it reduces its carbon print as well. That is when it decided to perform this gesture to encourage the employees living nearby to commute using cycles. In this way, they are able to do their bit to affect the environment positively.
The company has been promoting green solutions to arrange for its employees’ mobility around the facility for years now. It had reportedly asked the entire workforce to pedal to work on World Environment Day last year. Such gestures reflect where the company is focusing and from the environment’s point of view, it is headed in the right direction. In addition to that, cycling also has tons of proven health benefits and is one of the best and cheapest ways to stay fit and in shape.

Such thoughtful acts could prove to be a win-win situation for all the stakeholders. The workers are contributing to the environment, enhancing their health and well-being and saving a ton of money by avoiding fuel-powered personal vehicles. The astronomical fuel prices have had a major impact on people who would welcome such initiatives. Once there are enough bicycles on the road, the local administration could be approached to demand a separate lane for cycling.
