Swiggy, India’s leading on-demand convenience platform, is taking significant strides toward sustainability and social responsibility. At the Swiggy Sustainability Summit 2025, the company introduced several initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impact, supporting delivery partners, and fostering inclusive growth. Among these, its collaboration with Sulabh International marks a major step in enhancing the welfare of delivery personnel.
Recognising the challenges delivery partners face, Swiggy has partnered with Sulabh International to provide access to sanitation facilities across key cities, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai. By showing their registration on the Swiggy app, delivery personnel can use Sulabh Shauchalya free of charge.
This initiative reflects Swiggy’s commitment to improving working conditions for its workforce, who spend long hours on the road navigating heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions.
Rohit Kapoor, CEO of Swiggy Food Marketplace, emphasised that delivery partners form the backbone of the company’s operations, and ensuring their well-being is a key priority. Sulabh International, known for its contributions to sanitation and hygiene, also praised the initiative as a step toward inclusive sustainability.
In addition to improving working conditions for delivery partners, Swiggy has announced long-term sustainability commitments. The company aims to transition to a 100% electric vehicle (EV) delivery fleet by 2030, significantly reducing its carbon footprint. Furthermore, it has set a goal for all restaurant partners to adopt responsible packaging alternatives within the same timeframe.
Swiggy also plans to minimise food waste by cutting perishable waste in its direct operations by 25% year-on-year through automation and improved processes. To support local economies, the company has pledged to ensure that 100% of its locally available harvests are sourced indigenously by 2025. Moreover, it is investing in skill development, aiming to upskill and reskill over one million individuals in its value chain by 2030, with a particular focus on empowering 100,000 women.
As of March 12, 2025, at 10:32 AM, the shares of Swiggy are trading at ₹349.80 per share, down by 0.86% from the previous closing price. The stock has surged by 2.48% from its previous day’s closing price.
Swiggy’s sustainability initiatives demonstrate a forward-thinking approach that balances business growth with social and environmental responsibility. Through its collaboration with Sulabh International and its ambitious goals for a greener future, the company is setting a new standard for corporate sustainability in India.
