Dear Readers,

If one looks up the United Nation’s definition of sustainable development, it is described as – “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.

We want to build a Zomato that outlives the current generation – as an organisation that continues to positively contribute to society long after we’ve left.

In that pursuit, we present an update (click here to view PDF) on our sustainability (ESG) journey. The update encapsulates the journey so far, describes the six core themes that guide our strategy, and the initiatives we are undertaking under each.

These six UN SDG-aligned themes are – 

1. Climate conscious deliveries 
2. Waste-free world 
3. Zero hunger
4. Sustainable livelihoods 
5. Health, safety and wellbeing for all
6. Diversity, equity and inclusion 

Our aim is to be at the forefront of this journey in our part of the world, and also lead and inspire other startups to do better. Collective action is a bigger goal for us, than just fixing what we break ourselves.

I look forward to you reading about our initiatives and hearing from you on how Zomato can do better for humanity. Please write to us at sustainability@zomato.com if and when you have any queries/suggestions on how we can do better. 

Yours,

Deepinder
