3. Community Well-being:

The IIM Indore community benefits from a serene environment adorned with greenery and lush gardens, fostering mental peace. The
plastic-free campus contributes to low pollution levels.

4. Adoption of Sustainable Technologies:

The emphasis on fostering innovation for sustainable economic development is apparent using renewable energy sources instead of
non-renewable ones.

5. Circular Economy:

The promotion of recycling and reuse practices is evident in the campus’s use of paper bags, and wastewater treatment for various
purposes such as gardening, and the responsible management of sewage water.
6. Waste Reduction through Circular Economic Models:

A systematic approach to handling organic, inorganic, and toxic waste includes decomposing organic waste into manure for
horticulture. The recent implementation of a woodchipper machine accelerates the decomposition of wood logs.

7. Health and Safety:

The commitment to a healthy living environment is underscored by growing, harvesting, processing, packing, and distributing herbs
like Giloy, Ashwagandha, Tulsi, and Bhringraj throughout the IIM Indore community.

8. Distribution of Sanitary Napkins:

As part of its commitment to social sustainability, IIM Indore has undertaken an admirable initiative involving the free distribution of
sanitary napkins to its female members employed in various roles such as housekeeping and security. This monthly distribution not
only reflects the institute’s dedication to promoting hygiene, but also emphasizes its inclusivity by deploying this essential provision
free of cost.
