ITC WOW Green Award for Sustainability


On February 5, 2026, the Interactors of Sophia High School participated in the awards ceremony of the ‘Inter-School Recycling Championship 2025, held at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Bhavan and organized by ITC’s Wellbeing Out of Waste (WOW) initiative. The event aimed to promote sustainable waste management and environmental responsibility among school students.

Interactors had volunteered to help in the whole school collection drive in early 2025. Sophia High School donated an impressive ‘7,603 kilograms’ of dry waste through an innovative recycling donation drive, where students exchanged old newspapers, books, carton boxes and plastics in return for stationery. This activity encouraged community participation, responsible waste disposal, and efficient use of resources.

The sustained efforts of Interactors in promoting the drive and being physically available at the collection points from all sections of the school, Leans, Julie, Barat, Cuvilly, Mater & Duchesne resulted in an outstanding performance, earning Sophia the ‘Gold Award’ for Sustainability at the championship. Their achievement stood out among several participating schools and reflected their strong commitment to environmental conservation.

The ‘ITC WOW Green Awards’ recognized Sophia High School for its exemplary contribution towards sustainability and eco-friendly practices and the senior Interactors demonstrated through teamwork that passion and awareness can inspire meaningful change and promote a cleaner, greener future for the community.
