L&T plants over 2.5 million saplings across 559 project sites in just 3 days
In pursuit of the twin sustainability goals of achieving Water Neutrality by 2035 and Carbon Neutrality by 2040, the various verticals of L&T have initiated several programmes.
L&T Construction undertook ‘Project GreenHands’ – a mass sapling plantation drive – during 15-17 August. Initiated by L&T ECC Recreation Club, the mass sapling plantation drive was undertaken during the monsoons for better survivability rate with the aim of reducing global warming through carbon sequestration.
As part of the initiative, a whopping 2.5 million saplings were planted across 559 project sites of L&T Construction. Apart from thousands of colleagues, L&T CMD Mr S N Subrahmanyan also joined in this mega initiative by planting a sapling at a project site in Delhi.
“Project GreenHands is not only a commitment towards environmental restoration but also a demonstration of our social responsibility to keep Mother Earth green. After all, it is our responsibility to help build a green future for the generations to come,” says Mr E P Sajit, Sr VP & Head – Water & Effluent Treatment, L&T.
