Urmi Group unveiled its fifth sustainability report at the UN Global Compact’s Sustainability Day, a clear step that shows the company’s growing focus on people, place and long-term care for the environment. The report sends a friendly message: running a strong business and caring for workers, communities and nature can fit together. It explains how the company uses an in-house tool called Urmi Navigator to follow progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and to turn big aims into daily actions. Leaders said the report highlights work on safer workplaces, cleaner production and closer ties with local communities, and it points to small changes that add up over time. Plant managers and workers have taken steps to save water, use energy more carefully and reduce waste, while training programs help staff learn new skills and stay safer on the job. The company also notes work with local groups to support families and build trust so business growth helps people nearby. The report does not promise instant fixes, but it lists clear targets, shows what was done so far, and sets simple next steps so progress can be tracked and shared. Stakeholders will find plain tables and short stories inside the report that explain how a change in one factory, a new training class or a cleanup drive can improve results for workers and for local farms and rivers. By sharing the report at a public UN event, Urmi aims to invite partners, buyers and other companies to learn from its work and to join in. This kind of sharing helps suppliers and brands see how small firms can meet global standards while keeping jobs at home. The report also stresses the need for fair pay, safe hours and a clear voice for workers, and it points to steps that managers can use to make factories kinder places to work. Looking ahead, the company plans to deepen work on cleaner technologies and to test new ways of using data to spot problems early and fix them quickly. Urmi says it will keep using its Navigator tool to measure progress and to show how money spent on safety, training and better systems can return as steadier work, fewer accidents and stronger trust with buyers. While the report focuses on what Urmi itself can do, it also asks for stronger partnerships across the sector so ideas can spread and good practices can reach smaller makers. Publishing a clear, readable report and talking about it at a UN forum sends a hopeful message: steady, honest work on sustainability can help businesses grow, protect people and make local places healthier for future generations. The report invites others to join and learn from Urmi’s experience.
