HCLTech celebrates 50th anniversary of HCL Group by planting 50,000 saplings
HCLFoundation, which
drives the corporate social responsibility agenda of HCLTech in India, celebrated the 50th
anniversary of HCL Group by carrying out plantation of 50,000 native saplings
and launching clean-up drives at 50 beaches across the country.
The mega
environmental drives, organized across 10 states, brought together HCLTech
employees, their families, nonprofit partners, women’s collectives, youth and
other community members. The initiatives form part of HCLFoundation's broader
sustainability efforts that seek to strengthen ecosystems, conserve natural
resources and inspire community participation in environmental stewardship.
HCLFoundation has
greened 74,000 acres of land to date, bringing them under community management.
More than 155 billion liters of water have been harvested to date, creating a
habitat for biodiversity and strengthening water security for some of India’s
most stressed communities. As part of its coastal conservation efforts, more
than 181,000 saplings of terrestrial, mangrove and shelter belt species have
been planted and over 120,800 kg of ghost nets and marine debris have been
collected to date.
“As we
celebrate 50 remarkable years of HCL Group, we are reminded every day that
growth and progress are not separable from a deep commitment to a sustainable
planet and resilient communities,” said Dr. Nidhi Pundhir, Director,
HCLFoundation. “We believe that meaningful change is achieved when communities
come together with a shared purpose and we are grateful to our employees,
families, partners and volunteers for joining us in contributing to a greener, cleaner
and more sustainable future."
