Greenply Announces ‘One Sheet, One Tree’ Initiative, Targets 100 Million Plantations
Kolkata, June 9(TNT): Greenply Industries Limited on Tuesday announced that every plywood sheet supplied by the company will contribute to the plantation of one tree, reinforcing its long-term commitment to sustainability and environmental restoration.
The initiative, unveiled as part of the company’s “Naam Se Hi Nahi, Kaam Se Bhi Green” campaign, was announced on the occasion of World Environment Day and is being positioned as a permanent commitment rather than a time-bound campaign.
Under the programme, each plywood sheet supplied by Greenply for infrastructure and construction purposes will support the plantation of one tree, enabling customers and stakeholders across the value chain to contribute to environmental conservation through their purchases.
Announcing the initiative, Greenply Industries Chairman and Managing Director Rajesh Mittal said the company remained committed to giving back more to nature than it consumed.
“Our commitment to plant one tree for every plywood sheet supplied reflects our belief that sustainability is not only about the products we manufacture but also about the responsibility we take towards the environment and communities,” he said.
The company said the initiative would allow homeowners, architects, interior designers, carpenters, dealers, traders and channel partners to become active participants in environmental restoration without changing their purchasing choices.
Greenply said the programme builds on its existing sustainability efforts, which include responsible timber sourcing, agroforestry programmes, renewable energy adoption and large-scale plantation drives around its manufacturing facilities.
According to the company, it has already crossed the milestone of 90 million plantations and is now working towards achieving 100 million plantations.
The company said its agroforestry initiatives have helped improve farmer livelihoods while promoting sustainable forestry practices and enhancing raw material availability.
Greenply stated that the new commitment would further strengthen its sustainability agenda by linking every product purchase directly to environmental regeneration.
