In a powerful tribute to World Earth Day, three leading organisations, DLF Mall of India, AIPL and Ambience Mall, hosted independent yet complementary initiatives across the National Capital Region. While each programme operated separately, together, they amplified the shared goals of environmental stewardship, community well-being, and sustainable action, inspiring citizens to embrace a greener, healthier future.
DLF Mall of India commemorated its anniversary by hosting the "9th Anniversary Run." The event brought hundreds of participants from all age groups, including women and children, who ran for fitness, environmental conservation, and road safety. Aligned with World Earth Day, the event was organised under the 'Active Noida' initiative in collaboration with the Noida Traffic Police. The initiative highlighted the mall's commitment to fostering community well-being and sustainability.
The event featured three categories: 10 km, 5 km, and 3 km runs. It was flagged off from DLF Mall of India in Sector 18 and concluded there. Participants received medals, trophies, e-certificates, and saplings to reinforce environmental stewardship. Fitness First energised the crowd with Zumba sessions and interactive fitness challenges.
Shibli Khan, VP and Cluster Head, DLF Mall of India, Noida, remarked, "Celebrating our 9th anniversary alongside World Earth Day reflects our dual commitment to community health and planetary care. This run is more than a fitness endeavour; it's a platform to drive awareness about road safety and the urgent need to protect our environment. We're thrilled to see such spirited participation."
AIPL, in collaboration with the Green India Society, successfully hosted an engaging and educational event at the Ground Floor, AIPL Business Club. The event aimed to celebrate sustainability and nurture the planet, encouraging conscious living and collective responsibility through immersive and meaningful experiences. The vibrant gathering reflected a growing interest in environmental responsibility.
The event brought together individuals of all age groups to promote sustainability and environmental awareness through interactive and engaging activities centred around the theme "Play. Learn. Pledge." Corporate executives from leading firms such as Deloitte, British Airways, Lummus, and Kuehne + Nagel housed within the AIPL Business Club actively participated in activities like Seed Ball Making, a Water Conservation Quiz, and a life-sized Snake & Ladder Game with an eco-conscious twist. An Environment Crossword Challenge further sparked curiosity and tested attendees' knowledge of green practices.
Additionally, the event featured the Bin Ball Game, which raised awareness about waste segregation, and a Pledge Wall, where individuals committed to adopting sustainable practices. To enhance the experience, sustainable product displays, selfie cutouts, and a creatively designed atmosphere blended joyful learning with a deeper environmental message.
Ishaan Singh, Director of AIPL, said, "At AIPL, we believe that real change begins with awareness and action at the community level. This initiative aimed to engage, educate, and empower individuals to adopt sustainable habits in fun and meaningful ways. The enthusiasm we witnessed today reaffirms our commitment to building green infrastructure and a greener mindset for tomorrow."
On Earth Day, Ambience Mall, in association with Adidas, is hosting a Plantation Drive at Ambience Island (outside Ambience Mall, Gurgaon). The April 22 initiative aims to promote sustainability and environmental consciousness by encouraging individuals to take small yet impactful steps toward a greener future.
Saplings will be planted in the open as part of the initiative as a symbol of collective commitment to a greener future. This drive represents a shared vision between the two brands to create long-lasting environmental impact and inspire individuals to take small, conscious steps for a better future.
Arjun Gehlot, Director of Ambience Group - At Ambience Mall, said, "We believe that sustainability begins with awareness and action. Our collaboration with Adidas for this Earth Day Plantation Drive is a step towards inspiring the community to reconnect with nature and take responsibility for the environment. Through such initiatives, we aim to create meaningful experiences that raise awareness and foster a lasting impact."
