Marriott India has successfully fulfilled its ambitious environmental goal for World Environment Day 2025, planting a remarkable 100,000 trees across its diverse network of over 150 hotels nationwide. This monumental achievement highlights the brand’s intensified commitment to sustainability and ecological restoration, taking its environmental efforts to new heights.
Marriott India has made a powerful environmental statement by planting 100,000 trees across more than 150 of its hotels nationwide, aligning this large-scale sustainability initiative with World Environment Day 2025. This bold achievement not only commemorates the global day dedicated to environmental awareness but also reinforces Marriott’s long-term commitment to corporate social responsibility and ecological restoration. By executing one of the most extensive tree-planting campaigns within the Indian hospitality sector, Marriott India has set a new industry benchmark, showcasing how corporate action can drive meaningful change in the face of environmental challenges.
The initiative reflects the brand’s core values around sustainability, conservation, and community engagement. Each tree planted contributes to combating deforestation, improving local air quality, supporting biodiversity, and strengthening the green infrastructure surrounding Marriott’s properties. Beyond environmental benefits, the campaign also demonstrates Marriott’s intent to lead by example—mobilizing its workforce, guests, and local communities in a shared mission of environmental stewardship. As climate concerns rise globally, this milestone places Marriott India at the forefront of eco-conscious hospitality, proving that luxury and sustainability can coexist. With this impactful initiative, the brand not only meets its ambitious green target but also inspires the broader industry to take tangible steps toward a more sustainable future.
This significant milestone follows the success of last year’s “Two Trees per Room” initiative, introduced on World Environment Day 2024. That program, a key element of Marriott India’s sustainability strategy, saw more than 32,600 trees planted by over 4,900 volunteers. This year, Marriott India elevated its impact, setting a new benchmark for environmental action and reinforcing its resolve to contribute to a healthier, more sustainable planet.
Each Marriott India hotel played a vital role in the initiative by engaging in local tree-planting campaigns. Working alongside well-established reforestation organizations, the program aimed to greatly expand the company’s green footprint. The trees were carefully planted in locations selected to restore ecosystems, support biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and uplift local 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.“
Marriott India’s prestigious hotels, including The St. Regis Goa, JW Marriott Goa, and W Goa, made a notable contribution to World Environment Day by planting a total of 1,564 trees, underscoring the brand’s unwavering dedication to promoting environmental sustainability.
This effort is just one part of Marriott India’s broader commitment to sustainable practices. In addition to this tree-planting initiative, the company continually embraces innovative solutions to reduce its ecological footprint. These efforts include energy-efficient operations, comprehensive waste reduction strategies, and a focus on responsible sourcing. Through these initiatives, Marriott India strives to set new standards for sustainable hospitality in the industry, leading by example in the pursuit of a greener future.
