Marriott India Commemorates World Environment Day

5th June, Wednesday, 2024: Marriott India is proud to announce its participation in World Environment Day 2024 with a unique initiative titled "Two Trees per Room: Embracing Nature’s Bloom." As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, we are excited to introduce this innovative program aimed at promoting the importance of biodiversity conservation.

Scheduled to launch on World Environment Day, June 5th, 2024, "Two Trees per Room" underscores our dedication to creating a greener and more sustainable future. In line with this year's theme, our initiative seeks to not only raise awareness but also take tangible steps toward restoring and preserving our natural environment.

With a robust portfolio of 150 hotels, each property will pledge to plant two trees for every room based on its total room inventory, symbolizing our commitment to environmental conservation. By partnering with reputable reforestation organizations, we aim to ensure that the trees are planted in areas where they can have the greatest impact on restoring ecosystems, combating climate change, and supporting local communities.

"We believe that sustainability should be at the forefront of hospitality, and 'Two Trees per Room' is a testament to our dedication to environmental responsibility," "Through this initiative, we hope to make a meaningful contribution to the preservation of our planet for generations to come."

Sanjay Gupta, Chairman of the Marriott India Business Council

As part of Marriott India's commitment to environmental sustainability, Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield Hotel plans to plant 720 trees. This initiative reinforces our dedication to preserving the environment and contributing positively to the communities in which we operate.

As part of broader sustainability efforts, Marriott India continues to implement innovative initiatives aimed at reducing the carbon footprint and promoting social responsibility. From energy-efficient practices to waste reduction initiatives, we are dedicated to leading by example and setting new standards for sustainable hospitality.
