A project titled The Sustainability Scout was conducted under the guidance of Ms. Liya Elsa Stephen and Ms. Ashme Andrews for the students of B.Com Finance & Tax (Batch B) and B.Com Travel & Tourism.
The initiative provided final-year students with experiential learning by visiting local businesses and studying their eco-friendly practices through a structured questionnaire. In total, 21 businesses across industries such as Food & Beverages, Retail, Textiles, Healthcare, and Pharmaceuticals were surveyed.
Students identified both sustainable practices (like waste segregation, LED lighting, eco-friendly packaging, and digital billing) and unsustainable ones (such as excess energy use, paper billing, and plastic packaging). They also suggested improvements like promoting consumer awareness, investing in solar energy, and reducing plastic dependence.
The project offered students practical exposure to sustainability in business.
