Suez India’s Coimbatore division which handles the 24×7 drinking water supply project for the city corporation organized a team-building program for its workforce here.

The program coincided with the International Day for Biological Diversity, and to mark the day, the team visited Exotic Bird Park at Kooky land in Mettupalayam. SUEZ staff took part in a guided bird-watching tour across the park. The team also spent time assisting local botanists on the ground.

Speaking at the visit, Sangram Pattanayak, Project Director, SUEZ – 24×7 Water Supply Project, Coimbatore, explained the objective of the initiative.

“We spend all week managing city infrastructure. It is very easy to forget the natural world outside,” “We brought our team out here so they could physically see the local ecology they usually just read about. When you walk with botanists and watch these birds, you realize why protecting nature is an absolute necessity. We want to prove that business operations and environmental care must exist together,” he said.
