As part of its green initiative, Greenply Industries, one of India’s largest interior infrastructure brands with over 30 years of experience in manufacturing a comprehensive range of plywood, block boards, MDF, decorative veneers, flush doors, and other allied products, has announced an initiative to plant 50 million saplings by the year 2025. The company plans to plant these saplings across the states of Gujarat, Nagaland, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
Besides environmental protection and conservation, the plantation drive will help in the sustainable procurement of raw materials and the financial viability of the ecosystem while generating employment opportunities for the local communities. With an ever-growing focus on environmental responsibility and the persistent need to combat climate change, Greenply Industries recognizes the significance of committed involvement in creating a greener future. By setting this ambitious target, the company aims to contribute substantially to the restoration of forests, combat deforestation, and boost the overall ecological balance. While addressing the media during a virtual conference, Mr Manoj Tulsian, Joint Managing Director CEO, Greenply Industries, said, “Our pledge to plant 50 million samplings by 2025 is an extension to our commitment towards environment and sustainability. Environment Social Governance has become an integral part of decision-making for Greenply, and the company has been undertaking activities beyond tree plantation to keep its environmental impact under check, to reduce emissions and move towards renewable energy generation.” Greenply has already implemented various sustainable practices and initiatives throughout its operations. The company continuously invests in advanced technologies and processes to minimize its carbon footprint and enhance resource efficiency. By extending its efforts to reforestation, Greenply Industries aims to create a virtuous cycle of sustainable development that benefits both the company and the environment. Meanwhile, the company has already planted 24.85 million saplings by March 31, 2023, covering an area of nearly 31,714 acres of plantation land in India.
