Marriott India proudly announced the successful achievement of a landmark environmental goal on World Environment Day 2025 — planting 100,000 trees across its extensive network of over 150 hotels nationwide. This milestone marks a significant escalation in Marriott India’s ongoing dedication to sustainability and ecological restoration.

Building on the success of last year’s “Two Trees per Room” initiative, which saw over 32,600 trees planted by more than 4,900 volunteers, Marriott India dramatically scaled its green efforts in 2025. The collective commitment demonstrated by Marriott’s teams nationwide underscores the brand’s focus on tangible environmental action and fostering a healthier planet.

Each Marriott India property actively participated in localized tree-planting drives in collaboration with reputable reforestation partners. These efforts targeted areas where new trees would contribute most to ecosystem restoration, biodiversity enhancement, climate change mitigation, and support for local communities.

Sanjay Gupta, Chairman of the Marriott India Business Council, expressed pride in the achievement, stating, “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. 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.”

Sheraton Grand Palace Indore reinforced Marriott’s commitment by planting 550 trees on its premises as part of the celebrations. The initiative involved enthusiastic participation from hotel team members and was led by the General Manager, highlighting the hotel’s dedication to fostering a greener community and environment.

Beyond tree planting, Marriott India continues to implement a broad range of sustainability practices. These include energy-efficient operations, waste reduction programs, and responsible sourcing — all aimed at minimizing ecological impact and setting new standards in sustainable hospitality.

Marriott India’s achievements on World Environment Day 2025 reflect a deep-seated commitment to environmental stewardship and a vision for a cleaner, greener future.
