PERNOD RICARD Pernod Ricard India is totally dedicated towards sustainable development. As part of the endeavor, we have launched PR KRITI, an initiative of PR India towards environment management and sustainability.
The name has multifold meanings. Firstly, "Prkriti" means Nature. Secondly, the word can be broken into two parts as "PR" and "KRITI", PR signifies Pernod Ricard and "KRITI" means a Creation. Green wave of logo denotes Environment and the Blue as Water.
Pernod Ricard India proudly presents its first initiative on this platform - Water Conservation.
As a first step, rain water harvesting initiatives have been undertaken at Phagi in Rajahstan, where four watershed structures have been built. This would conserve about32 000 cubic metres of waterand alsorejuvenate all the nearby dry wells.
This water will help sustainable development of 4 villages in the water-starved region of Phagi.
