World Environment Day 2025 at Sterling Gelatin: Growing a Greener Future Together

On June 5th, 2025, Sterling Gelatin proudly joined the global community in celebrating World Environment Day, reaffirming our dedication to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

This year’s theme, “Beat Plastic Pollution,” highlighted the urgent need to tackle one of today’s most critical environmental issues. Hosted by the Republic of Korea, the event set an inspiring global benchmark, with Jeju Province announcing its bold vision to eliminate plastic pollution by 2040.

At our Karakhadi manufacturing facility, the People & Culture and Administration teams spearheaded a meaningful Tree Plantation Drive. Taking place from 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon, employees gathered near Admin-1, Admin-2, and the Guest House to plant saplings—each one a symbol of our collective commitment to a cleaner, healthier planet.

The event saw enthusiastic participation from team members across all departments. Dressed in vibrant green, employees came together not just in attire but in purpose—demonstrating the power of unity in driving positive environmental change.

This initiative echoed Sterling Gelatin’s core values of Care, Growth Mindset, and One Team. More than just a symbolic gesture, the plantation drive reinforced our belief that small actions, when taken together, can lead to meaningful, lasting impact.

At Sterling Gelatin, sustainability isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a way of life. We remain committed to creating value not just for our customers, but for the world we all share.

Together, let’s nurture a more sustainable tomorrow.

At Sterling Gelatin, our journey toward sustainable growth is grounded in strategic alignment and visionary leadership. In keeping with our commitment to continuous improvement and leadership excellence, we recently conducted the D.I.S.H.A Workshop—a focused Management Development Programme curated specifically for our leadership team.

Defining Our Collective Vision

The D.I.S.H.A Workshop brought together key leaders from across the organization to engage in a shared dialogue about the future of Sterling Gelatin. It was an opportunity to step back, reflect, and collaboratively set a strategic course that ensures every team and individual is aligned toward common goals. The aim was clear: foster cohesion, drive impact, and deliver results that matter.

Strategic Priorities with Clear Direction

Throughout the workshop, participants engaged in structured discussions and interactive exercises to identify critical strategic priorities. These collaborative sessions laid out a clear roadmap for long-term success, emphasizing innovation, synergy, and sustainability. The shared outcomes are already serving as a compass for decision-making across the organization.

From Insight to Action

The effects of the D.I.S.H.A Workshop are already being felt across Sterling Gelatin. Leaders returned to their roles with renewed purpose, enhanced focus, and a deeper sense of ownership in driving the company’s mission. The clarity and alignment achieved during the session are translating into improved communication, stronger collaboration, and more cohesive leadership.

A Launchpad for Transformation

More than just a workshop, D.I.S.H.A has become a catalyst for cultural and strategic transformation. By confronting key challenges and identifying new avenues for growth, the programme has laid the foundation for a more agile, innovative, and resilient organization. Our leaders are now better equipped to lead with clarity and inspire progress across all levels.

As we move forward, the momentum generated by D.I.S.H.A is helping us build a more unified and purpose-driven future. At Sterling Gelatin, we’re proud of the strides we’re making—and confident in the path ahead.

At Sterling Gelatin, we believe a truly thriving workplace nurtures not only professional excellence but also spiritual well-being. As part of our commitment to fostering a culture rooted in tradition, unity, and collective strength, we celebrated a profoundly meaningful occasion — the Mataji Murti Pratishtha and Ashtami Hawan — on October 11, 2024, during the auspicious Navratri festival.

A Spiritual Celebration of Togetherness

The day began with the Pratishtha (installation) of Mataji’s idol at our newly constructed temple, located near the security office.

This sacred milestone marked a new beginning, bringing divine energy and a sense of spiritual presence into our premises. Employees from across departments gathered with reverence and devotion, embodying the spirit of Navratri and reinforcing the bonds that connect us beyond the workplace.

Ashtami Hawan: A Collective Offering of Prayers

Following the Pratishtha, a sacred Ashtami Hawan was performed with deep devotion. This spiritual ritual created an atmosphere of serenity, unity, and positivity, as prayers were offered for the well-being, prosperity, and collective harmony of the entire Sterling Gelatin family.

The Hawan served as a reminder of the power of collective prayer and reinforced our shared values of mutual respect, gratitude, and hope for a prosperous future.

Aarti and Seeking Blessings

At 11:30 a.m., the vibrant energy continued with the Mataji Aarti, as employees came together to participate in an uplifting ceremony of chants, bells, and devotion.

This moment of reflection and prayer was filled with gratitude — seeking blessings for continued success, good health, and unity across all levels of the organization.

Strengthening Our Cultural Foundations

At Sterling Gelatin, we believe that tradition and culture form the backbone of a strong, resilient community.

The Mataji Murti Pratishtha and Ashtami Hawan were more than ceremonial events; they were expressions of our collective spirit, enriching our workplace with faith, unity, and positive energy.

As the fragrance of incense lingered and the echoes of devotion became lasting memories, it was clear that events like these strengthen the deep-rooted values we cherish — where culture, community, and purpose come together to inspire us every day.

Last year, Sterling Gelatin reached a heartwarming milestone as we celebrated our first-ever Ganesh Mahotsav at our factory premises. Rooted in tradition and filled with infectious enthusiasm, the celebration brought together employees, their families, and the spirit of togetherness, creating a beautiful blend of devotion, culture, and community.

A Grand Welcome for Lord Ganesha

On September 7, 2024, our premises resonated with chants of “Ganpati Bappa Morya!” as we performed the Ganesh Sthapana with immense devotion and excitement. With traditional rituals, soulful devotional songs, and vibrant energy, we welcomed Lord Ganesha into our workplace.

Employees gathered to seek Bappa’s blessings for wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings — not only for Sterling Gelatin but for every member of our extended work family.

Sparking Creativity: Ganesh Decoration Competition

Adding a joyful and artistic dimension to the festivities, we organized a Ganesh Decoration Competition for the children of our employees and contract staff (up to 12 years of age).

On September 5th and 6th, young artists received decoration sheets and unleashed their imagination with incredible enthusiasm and creativity. Their colorful, heartfelt masterpieces were proudly displayed for all to admire.

The celebrations continued on September 11, where each young participant was recognized with exciting prizes, making the event truly memorable and spreading smiles across the community.

A Fond and Emotional Farewell

As all beautiful journeys come full circle, our Ganesh Mahotsav concluded with a deeply emotional Ganesh Visarjan ceremony on September 11, 2024.

With rhythmic drumbeats, heartfelt prayers, and radiant smiles, we bid farewell to Bappa, expressing gratitude for his blessings and promising to welcome him again next year with even greater enthusiasm.

The spirit of “Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya!” filled the air as we celebrated the bonds we had strengthened during this special festival.

Building New Traditions, Strengthening Our Culture

Our inaugural Ganesh Mahotsav was more than just a festival—it marked the beginning of a cherished tradition at Sterling Gelatin. It reflected the core values we stand for: unity, inclusivity, and a workplace culture that embraces both professional excellence and shared celebrations.

We are already looking forward to next year’s festivities — because at Sterling Gelatin, it’s the spirit of togetherness that makes every moment truly special.

At Sterling Gelatin, we believe that a healthy dose of friendly competition brings out the best in people—and this year’s Sports Week 2024 was no exception! From December 12 to December 18, our campus buzzed with energy, laughter, and the sound of cheering teammates as departments came together for an unforgettable celebration of unity, wellness, and sportsmanship.

Transforming Grounds into Arenas of Passion

For one incredible week, the usually serene grounds of Sterling Gelatin were transformed into vibrant arenas of action and adrenaline. The air was filled with the spirit of the game as employees swapped their office desks for cricket bats, volleyballs, racquets, and chessboards.

The lineup of events was as diverse as our workforce—featuring high-octane team sports like cricket and volleyball, indoor games that tested focus and intellect such as chess and carrom, and classic favorites like badminton. Adding a splash of childhood nostalgia and plenty of laughter were the three-legged race and marble & spoon race—because sometimes, the best moments are born out of pure fun.

Celebrating Talent, Teamwork, and Togetherness

From the tense final overs of the cricket match to the epic rallies on the badminton court, every event was a display of teamwork, passion, and perseverance. It was inspiring to see colleagues from all departments step out of their roles and onto the field, showcasing not just their athletic abilities but their dedication to our “One Team” philosophy.

The camaraderie was contagious. Departments strategized, cheered, and supported one another, reinforcing the bonds that make Sterling Gelatin more than just a workplace—it’s a community.

A Grand Finale to Remember

Sports Week 2024 concluded with a grand finale celebration that was nothing short of spectacular. The prize distribution ceremony recognized the champions who claimed victory, but more importantly, it applauded every participant who brought their spirit and energy to the field.

Winners took home their medals and trophies amidst loud cheers and applause, but the real prize was the joy shared, friendships strengthened, and memories created. Whether someone won gold or simply joined in the fun, the experience united us all in a powerful way.

Looking Ahead

As the curtain fell on this extraordinary week, one thing was clear: the bar has been set higher than ever. Sports Week 2024 reminded us of the importance of wellness, teamwork, and a little bit of play.

Here’s to an even bigger and better celebration next year—filled with more excitement, more laughter, and even more unforgettable moments. At Sterling Gelatin, we don’t just work together—we grow stronger, healthier, and happier together.

Game on, always!

At Sterling Gelatin, festivals are more than just events — they’re moments that bring us closer, celebrate our vibrant culture, and build memories that last. This year, our Uttrayan (Kite Flying Festival) celebration turned into a colorful spectacle, reflecting the unity, enthusiasm, and spirit of our SG family.

🪁 A Sky Full of Dreams

The day kicked off with high energy and excitement as employees from every department gathered on the open grounds, ready to paint the sky with their kites. As the morning breeze picked up, so did the kites — soaring, swirling, and cutting through the sky in a burst of colors and cheer. Each kite symbolized our shared values of unity, aspiration, and joy.

🎶 Music, Masti & Mithai

No celebration is complete without the perfect blend of tradition and taste. The festive mood was amplified with traditional music and the sweet crunch of Chikki, a beloved treat during Uttrayan. Laughter echoed as friendly kite battles took over the sky and colleagues rooted for each other with smiles and playful banter.

🤝 Bonding Beyond Work

What made the day truly special was the spirit of togetherness. Employees across all levels and functions came together, not as coworkers, but as a community — flying kites, sharing stories, and creating joyful memories. These moments beyond the workspace reinforce the bonds that make Sterling Gelatin a close-knit family.

🌈 Celebrating Culture at Work

Festivals like Uttrayan are a beautiful reminder of the importance of honoring our roots while fostering a workplace that thrives on diversity, inclusivity, and joy. At Sterling Gelatin, we proudly celebrate cultural traditions that create a balanced and meaningful work environment.

💫 Rising Together

As the kites soared high, so did our spirits — echoing our belief that when we come together in celebration, we not only strengthen our bonds but also uplift our collective energy. At SG, we don’t just work together — we rise together.
