Dalu by AFC
“Dalu” by AFC is the umbrella program of all sustainability initiatives of AFC. We have launched this program in 2019 to further promote the sustainability agenda of the company through social and digital media, inviting the like-minded stakeholders to support our social and environmental sustainability initiatives.
“Dalu ” denotes “new beginnings” and for AFC, it is about a new beginning with a fresh approach to create a positive impact on all its stakeholders with a win-win approach and a holistic integrating of social and the environmental to its value creation.
As a part of this program, a social media campaign was launched in 2019 and “Dalu” web portal was launched in 2020, in order to engage both local and international stakeholders who would like to join hands in our journey of Sustainable Value creation.
