Thursday, August 22, 2024 Ibis India has inaugurated a comprehensive tree-planting campaign across its 21 hotels, marking a notable stride in its commitment to environmental stewardship and community involvement. This campaign underscores ibis India’s efforts to forge a beneficial impact on both the natural world and community relations. Partnering with local government schools, ibis India has successfully planted 500 trees.
In a show of unity and purpose, around 20 staff members from each hotel joined forces with 20 students from each associated school for the planting activities. This joint venture not only aims to bolster the local greenery but also serves to engage and educate the youth about the critical role of environmental conservation. Mr.
John Timson, Vice President Sustainability and Safety- MEAPAC Operations, Commented “The tree plantation drive launched by ibis India is a significant step forward in our commitment to environmental sustainability. By collaborating with local government schools, we are not only increasing green cover but also fostering a culture of environmental awareness among the younger generation. This initiative aligns perfectly with Accor’s global sustainability goals, and we are proud to support efforts that have a lasting positive impact on our communities and the planet.
” Mr. Tejus Jose, Director of Operations – ibis and ibis Styles India, commented on the initiative, saying, “At ibis India, our commitment extends beyond providing exceptional hospitality. We are deeply invested in making a meaningful contribution to the communities we serve.
This plantation drive is a key part of our broader sustainability strategy and provides an excellent opportunity for us to work directly with the younger generation. Partnering with local government schools underscores our belief in fostering environmental responsibility from a young age. The saplings planted during the monsoon have a high chance of thriving, making this the ideal time for our tree planting mission.
We are excited about the potential impact of this drive and the opportunity to create lasting positive change in our communities.” This endeavor by ibis India not only aims to enrich the verdant landscapes surrounding its hotels but also seeks to forge more profound connections with the communities nearby. The involvement of students in the tree-planting activities is intended to foster a sense of responsibility and knowledge about ecological preservation among the younger generation.
This practical engagement is an educational opportunity, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices and the collective role in environmental guardianship. The tree-planting campaign is a cornerstone of ibis India’s extensive corporate social responsibility agenda, which prioritizes ecological sustainability, community engagement, and educational initiatives. This effort is a testament to the company’s steadfast commitment to ecological care and its proactive support for the communities where its hotels are located.
