ibis India is proud to announce the launch of a nationwide tree plantation drive across its 21 hotels, demonstrating a significant commitment to environmental sustainability and community engagement. This initiative reflects ibis India’s dedication to creating a positive impact on both the environment and local communities.
In collaboration with local government schools, ibis India has planted 500 saplings as part of this drive. Approximately 20 ibis employees from each hotel teamed up with 20 students from each partnering school to plant these saplings. This collaborative effort aims not only to increase local green cover but also to inspire and educate young minds about the importance of environmental stewardship.
Mr. John Timson, Vice President Sustainability and Safety- MEAPAC Operations, Commented “The tree plantation drive launched by ibis India is a significant step forward in our commitment to environmental sustainability. By collaborating with local government schools, we are not only increasing green cover but also fostering a culture of environmental awareness among the younger generation. This initiative aligns perfectly with Accor’s global sustainability goals, and we are proud to support efforts that have a lasting positive impact on our communities and the planet.”
Mr. Tejus Jose, Director of Operations – ibis and ibis Styles India, commented on the initiative, saying, “At ibis India, our commitment extends beyond providing exceptional hospitality. We are deeply invested in making a meaningful contribution to the communities we serve. This plantation drive is a key part of our broader sustainability strategy and provides an excellent opportunity for us to work directly with the younger generation. Partnering with local government schools underscores our belief in fostering environmental responsibility from a young age. The saplings planted during the monsoon have a high chance of thriving, making this the ideal time for our tree planting mission. We are excited about the potential impact of this drive and the opportunity to create lasting positive change in our communities.”
