Lubrizol employees across India and the Middle East lead local sustainability initiatives through the region’s Sustainability Business Resource Group.
Programs including Energy Saving Week, World Environment Day activities and multi-site plastic collection drives increased awareness and encouraged practical action.
Employee-led efforts delivered measurable community and environmental impact, including tree planting, plastic upcycling and energy-saving engagement across multiple sites.

At Lubrizol, many regions have a Sustainability Business Resource Group, in which employees give their time to develop local sustainability initiatives. The team across India and the Middle East is a great example of the impact these groups have. The team of volunteers strengthened Lubrizol’s sustainability culture through hands-on environmental engagement and employee-driven initiatives.

This included ‘Energy Saving Week,’ which brought together more than 190 employees for awareness sessions and best-practice sharing across our sites in Turbhe, Dahej, and Vikhroli. This included an energy-saving contest encouraging employees to share energy saving ideas, as well as daily videos on best energy practices.

On World Environment Day, the team mobilized employees around plastic reduction and environmental stewardship. A “Beat Plastic Pollution” quiz helped improve understanding of recyclable materials. Tree-planting drives followed, with more than 100 trees planted near our facilities in Turbhe, Dahej, and Pune. The business resource group also led a multi-site Plastic Collection Drive, sending collected material for upcycling. At our Pune location alone, employees gathered 7kg of plastic.

Together, these actions demonstrate a strong, grassroots sustainability movement across the region—one that builds awareness, strengthens community partnerships, and delivers environmental impact.
