Future Generali India Insurance launches a mega tree plantation drive on World Environment Day – 5th June, 2025
Through one of the largest projects in the General Insurance industry, the organisation has set out to plant 1 lakh native trees at the NSG Manesar Campus to restore ecological balance and promote biodiversity
New Delhi, June 5, 2025: This World Environment Day, Future Generali India Insurance Company Ltd. (FGII) is committing itself to a powerful cause of ensuring ecological restoration by turning a harmful environment into a flourishing natural habitat.
Under this project, named Responsible Roots, organised in collaboration with Catch Foundation, Future Generali India Insurance will plant one lakh native trees over a period of 4 years at the NSG Manesar Campus. Special scientifically proven techniques will be used, ensuring the growth of dense fast-growing forests. The initiative aims to restore ecological balance and shift the landscape from negative environmental impact to a positive, thriving ecosystem.
Responsible Roots aligns with FGII’s commitment to climate action, biodiversity conservation, and corporate social responsibility (CSR), ensuring a sustainable and resilient future.
Commenting on the initiative, Anup Rau, Managing Director and CEO, Future Generali India Insurance Company Ltd, said, “At Future Generali India Insurance, we recognise our profound responsibility to drive meaningful environmental change and contribute to a more resilient future. India has lost an alarming 2.33 million hectares of tree cover since 2000, with an average annual loss of 668,000 hectares in the past five years alone. These figures serve as a stark reminder of the urgent action required.
This World Environment Day, through our latest initiative, we aim to enhance the air quality and mitigate urban heat stress, directly benefiting over 12,000 individuals. This initiative has been designed keeping in mind our allyship with the Lungs of Haryana project, which also aims to improve the air quality and reducing the respiratory illnesses.”
Bharat Sisodia, Founder & Chairman, CATCH Foundation said, “Together with Future Generali, we are planting a legacy – not just trees. Using the CVSP Miyawaki method, this forest will rapidly restore biodiversity, improve air quality, and stand as a living example of how corporate action can fuel environmental transformation.”
The strategic afforestation and invasive species removal project is aimed to promote significant carbon sequestration and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This apart, the revival of biodiversity will help attract native birds, insects, and wildlife and lead to improved soil fertility and groundwater retention.
