Achieves Milestone of Planting 100,000 Trees
Pune (Maharashtra) [India], 9th June 2025: Marriott India proudly achieved its ambitious goal for World Environment Day 2025, a commitment to plant 100,000 trees across its extensive portfolio of over 150 hotels nationwide. This significant undertaking marked a powerful escalation of Marriott India’s dedication to sustainability and ecological restoration, building upon the success of its previous environmental initiatives.
This landmark endeavor was built upon the successful foundation of last year’s “Two Trees per Room” initiative, launched on World Environment Day 2024. That program, a cornerstone of Marriott India’s environmental stewardship, saw over 32,600 trees planted by more than 4,900 volunteers. This year, Marriott India scaled its impact exponentially, reinforcing its commitment to tangible environmental action and a healthier planet by setting and achieving this monumental new target.
To achieve this ambitious goal, each Marriott India property actively participated in localized tree-planting initiatives. This collective effort, in collaboration with reputable reforestation organizations, was designed to dramatically expand our collective green footprint. Trees were strategically planted in areas optimized for ecosystem restoration, biodiversity enhancement, and climate change mitigation, while also providing vital support to local communities.
“Marriott India is incredibly proud to have successfully achieved our goal of planting 100,000 trees, a testament to our profound dedication to environmental responsibility,” said Sanjay Gupta – Chairman of the Marriott India Business Council. “This ambitious goal truly underscores our belief that sustainability is not just a passing trend, but a fundamental pillar of responsible hospitality. We are committed to making a lasting, positive impact on our environment for generations to come.”
As part of the World Environment Day 2025 celebrations, Courtyard by Marriott Pune Chakan took a meaningful step towards sustainability by planting over 300 saplings at the Alandi Forest near Chakan. The plantation included a thoughtful selection of native species such as Neem, Mango, Gooseberry, and Sal, chosen to flourish in the local ecosystem. This initiative witnessed active participation from the hotel’s leadership team and dedicated associates, reflecting a strong collective commitment to environmental responsibility.
The team extends sincere gratitude to the forest officers of the Alandi Pune Chakan region for their invaluable support and guidance, which played a crucial role in the success of the initiative. This effort aligns with Marriott International’s Serve360 doing good in every direction.
Marriott India’s dedication extends beyond this signature initiative. We continue to implement a wide array of innovative practices aimed at minimizing our ecological impact, including energy-efficient operations, robust waste reduction programs, and responsible sourcing. By leading through example, Marriott India is committed to setting new benchmarks for sustainable hospitality within the industry.
