We, at Gokaldas Exports, consider Sustainability as the core of our operations and the most critical material determinant of our success. We acknowledge that we are part of an industry that has been a major contributor to climate change, resource intensification and biodiversity loss. We also recognise this challenge as an opportunity to drive impactful initiatives that transform the industry and create a positive wave of change.
