Allcargo launches its maiden golf tournament to create ESG awareness amongst 100+ corporates

Allcargo Group, India-born global logistics conglomerate, held the maiden edition of its corporate golf event, Allcargo Invitational Golf Tournament, on February 26, 2023, at the Oxford Golf Resort, Pune.   

The tournament, which was an extension of Allcargo’s overarching ESG theme — sustainability —was organised in collaboration with former Asian Games gold medallist for India in golf, Rishi Narain, and his team.

The tournament focused on creating awareness on ESG and sustainability through a number of unique initiatives. Nearly 100 corporate and business leaders travelled from across India to participate in it. Allcargo has also made the platform available for raising funds for the DEC Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal, with a $50,000 goal, to aid in the recovery and rebuilding of lives affected by earthquakes in southern Turkey and northwest Syria.

The topmost priority for Allcargo Group is to ensure that its companies across countries have a common framework for their ESG initiatives at different stages of evolution to create sustained outcomes whilst strengthening the group’s commitment to environment and societies.
