Greenply Pledges One Tree Plantation for Every Plywood Sheet Sold, Targets 100 Million Trees
The initiative, unveiled on the occasion of World Environment Day, is designed as a long-term environmental commitment rather than a time-bound campaign.
Rajesh Mittal, Chairman and Managing Director of Greenply Industries, said the company's sustainability philosophy is centred on giving back more to nature than it consumes.
Kolkata: Greenply Industries has announced a new sustainability commitment under its campaign, ‘Naam Se Hi Nahi, Kaam Se Bhi Green’, pledging to contribute to the plantation of one tree for every plywood sheet supplied across the country.
The initiative, unveiled on the occasion of World Environment Day, is designed as a long-term environmental commitment rather than a time-bound campaign. The company said the programme aims to integrate ecological restoration into its core business operations by linking every plywood purchase to tree plantation activities.
According to Greenply, the initiative will enable homeowners, architects, interior designers, carpenters, dealers, traders and channel partners to participate indirectly in environmental conservation through their purchasing decisions.
Rajesh Mittal, Chairman and Managing Director of Greenply Industries, said the company’s sustainability philosophy is centred on giving back more to nature than it consumes.
“Our commitment to plant one tree for every plywood sheet supplied is that principle in action. Sustainability for us is not just about the products we make, but also about the responsibility we undertake and the livelihoods we support through plantation initiatives that benefit farming communities,” he said.
The company said it has already facilitated more than 90 million tree plantations and is now working towards the milestone of 100 million plantations. Greenply’s broader sustainability programme includes agroforestry initiatives, certified timber sourcing, renewable energy adoption across manufacturing facilities and plantation activities around its production centres.
Industry observers note that sustainability has become an increasingly important consideration for consumers and businesses alike, particularly in sectors dependent on natural resources. Greenply said the latest commitment is intended to strengthen its environmental stewardship efforts while encouraging greater participation in ecological restoration.
Founded over four decades ago, Greenply Industries is one of India’s leading wood panel manufacturers, offering products including plywood, MDF, block boards, flush doors, decorative veneers, PVC products and flooring solutions. The company operates five manufacturing facilities and maintains a distribution network spanning more than 1,100 cities, towns and villages across the country.
