Škoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL) has reached a significant milestone by planting over 700,000 trees in various parts of Maharashtra, underscoring the Group's dedication to ecological restoration. This achievement includes the planting of the 1,00,000th tree at the Green Future Park near the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (CSN) car manufacturing facility, which will enhance the oxygen levels in the Shendra Industrial area.

 SAVWIPL's tree plantation initiatives are part of a broader sustainability agenda, which includes numerous green projects. The Group has made remarkable strides in reducing its carbon footprint, including the full decarbonisation of its Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar plant, which now operates entirely on green energy. Furthermore, SAVWIPL has installed 18.5 MWp of rooftop solar power at its Chakan facility, offsetting nearly 30 per cent of CO2 emissions.

In a further demonstration of its environmental commitment, SAVWIPL has restored 100 hectares of degraded mangrove forests in Alibaug, planting over 580,000 trees to revitalise this crucial coastal ecosystem. The Group has also enhanced its sustainability initiatives by implementing rainwater harvesting systems with a capacity exceeding 600 million liters in drought-prone villages of Maharashtra, reflecting its dedication to sustainable water management.

 Over the past few years, SAVWIPL has actively supported ecological restoration projects in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Pune, and other regions of Maharashtra. Notable efforts include the planting of 25,000 trees at Oxygen Park and 11,500 trees at the Green Hub. The recent development of Green Future Park, with 63,500 trees, has further expanded these initiatives.

 These projects are expected to have a significant impact on CO2 reduction as the trees mature over the next 5–7 years. Beyond their environmental benefits, the projects help reduce local temperatures, restore ecosystems, and enhance biodiversity, aligning with the Group's environmental mission, 'goTOzero.'
