Marriott India Celebrates Environmental Milestone with 100,000 Trees Planted on World Environment Day 2025

Marriott India proudly reached a major sustainability milestone on World Environment Day 2025, successfully planting 100,000 trees across more than 150 hotels nationwide. This achievement marks a significant leap forward in Marriott India's ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility and ecological restoration.

Building on last year’s "Two Trees per Room" initiative, which saw over 32,600 trees planted with the help of 4,900 volunteers, this year’s effort saw over 15,000 staff, guests, and local partners come together to make an even greater impact.

Each hotel played its part in localised tree planting projects, collaborating with reputable reforestation organisations to restore ecosystems, support biodiversity, and combat climate change, while also benefiting surrounding 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."

Notably, the Udaipur Marriott organised a large-scale plantation drive on 5th June, planting 904 trees with staff, guests, and local residents. The hotel also actively participated in Rajasthan’s “Hariyalo Rajasthan” campaign, supporting the state’s aim to plant 10 crore trees in the coming year.

Commenting on the initiative, Vaibhav Sagar, General Manager, Udaipur Marriott, said, "Our plantation drive is a reflection of our long-term commitment to sustainability and the rich natural heritage of Udaipur. It’s about seeding a greener tomorrow and reinforcing our responsibility as hoteliers to protect and nurture the environment we are privileged to be part of. We are proud to be part of this larger mission and to contribute actively to Marriott’s sustainability vision."

Marriott India continues to champion sustainable practices through energy-efficient operations, waste reduction initiatives, and responsible sourcing, setting new standards in eco-friendly hospitality.
