On the occasion of World Environment Day, organisations across India
are reaffirming their commitment to environmental sustainability through
impactful actions and long-term vision. This year’s global theme, “Beat
Plastic Pollution,” highlights the urgent need to reduce plastic waste
and protect natural ecosystems from its harmful effects. From large-scale
plantation drives to awareness campaigns, industries are stepping up to lead
change and inspire communities to adopt eco-friendly habits. This collective
effort underscores that protecting the environment is a responsibility shared
by all sectors of society. Leading the way are CREDAI-MCHI, Roto Pumps Ltd.,
and KARAM Safety, each making distinct and meaningful contributions toward a
greener future.

“On this World Environment Day, CREDAI-MCHI acknowledges the visionary
leadership of CREDAI National Chairman, Mr. Boman Irani, whose generous
contribution of ₹2 crore towards Reforestation and Skilling through the CREDAI
CSR Foundation is a testament to the real estate fraternity’s unwavering
commitment to sustainable development.
Strengthening this vision, CREDAI-MCHI has proposed a large-scale
plantation drive of 1 million trees across Maharashtra, with a focus on
ecologically sensitive areas such as the Western Ghats and the Coastal Road
Project. Our proposal to plant 1 million trees across the Mumbai Metropolitan
Region has already been submitted to the Government of Maharashtra, reinforcing
our resolve to shape a more climate-resilient future. Further exemplifying
purpose-driven leadership, Mr. Boman Irani has donated 5,000 trees to the Parli
Council, Maharashtra, at the request of Hon. Environment Minister Smt.

These initiatives are aligned with this year’s World Environment Day
theme—Beat Plastic Pollution—and reflect our conviction that environmental
protection must be central to urban development. As a collective of over 1,800
developers in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, CREDAI-MCHI is actively working
to reduce plastic usage in construction, promote eco-friendly alternatives, and
embed sustainable practices into every stage of the built environment.
Our commitment extends beyond intention into action. From conducting
capacity-building workshops in partnership with MPCB and WRI India to curb air
pollution at construction sites, to encouraging widespread adoption of green
building methods, we are focused on measurable impact.
With a bold pledge to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, CREDAI-MCHI
remains at the forefront of responsible development—where sustainability is not
just a vision, but a collective responsibility.”

"On this World Environment Day, we at Roto Pumps pay a heartfelt
tribute to our Co-founder and Former Managing Director, Shri N.K. Gupta Ji, by
honouring his legacy with action. As we gather for a prayer meeting and a tree
plantation drive at our GNU Campus, we reaffirm our commitment to building a
sustainable future.
In line with this year’s theme — Beat Plastic Pollution — we are
initiating a series of green efforts, starting with planting 50 trees today
across our Greater Noida Plant (GNU), Roto Energy System Ltd. Greater Noida
Plant (RESL) and NSEZ – Noida Plant campuses, and 200 more throughout the month
of June. Through our ‘One Employee – One Tree’ initiative, every member of the
Roto family will contribute personally, with a goal of 600 trees planted by
year-end. We also pledge to gift a plant to every employee on their birthday
and to welcome every new joiner with a green token of care.
Our mission goes beyond reducing plastic; it is about nurturing a
culture of conscious living and collective responsibility — one tree, one
gesture, one action at a time."

we are proud to commit over 1,000 saplings to our employees, encouraging them

environmental stewardship. Together, we are nurturing a cleaner, greener, and

Environment Day serves as a crucial reminder that every action counts. From
reducing plastic pollution to nurturing green spaces, it is only through
collective responsibility and sustained commitment that we can safeguard our
planet’s future. This day calls upon individuals, communities, and industries
alike to embrace sustainable practices and foster a culture of environmental
stewardship—because a healthier Earth depends on the choices we make today.
