Marriott India 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.
Foundation of Success: The “Two Trees per Room” Legacy
This endeavour 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.
Collective Participation and Strategic Impact
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 the brand’s 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.
Leadership Speaks
“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.”
A Local Success Story: Sheraton Grand Palace Indore
On the occasion of World Environment Day, Sheraton Grand Palace Indore reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability by planting 550 trees within the premises. The initiative saw enthusiastic participation from internal team members, with the General Manager leading the drive. This effort not only reflects the hotel’s dedication to environmental responsibility but also serves as a step towards creating a cleaner, greener future for the community.
