Himalaya Wellness Company, a leading wellness brand in India, has announced the successful planting of over one million trees across the country. This achievement was celebrated with the planting of the one millionth tree by dedicated Himalaya employees, marking a significant step towards the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability as part of its 2030 vision.
Himalaya’s reforestation efforts focus on regions of high ecological significance, particularly the Western Ghats, where they have planted over nine lakh trees. This initiative is vital for restoring biodiversity and mitigating climate change, especially in Maharashtra and Karnataka. The company has also expanded its environmental conservation efforts to Meghalaya, where over 30,000 indigenous trees have been planted in Kyrdemkhla, Perkseh, and Mawphlang.
From a local perspective, Shillong has seen growing interest in eco-friendly products and sustainability initiatives, reflecting a positive reception of Himalaya’s efforts. The company’s collaboration with the Khasi tribe to build eco-villages and promote sustainable farming practices is seen as a step forward in aligning local economic growth with environmental conservation.
