"This initiative is a step towards mitigating the impact of climate change and ensuring a sustainable future," Apollo Hospitals Group Chairman Dr Prathap C Reddy said in a statement.
The tree planting initiative was taken as part of Apollo Hospitals Group Chairman's 90th birthday celebration, said Upasana Kamineni Konidela, Vice Chairperson of Apollo Hospitals' CSR.
The state forest department will provide saplings native to the region, and the Apollo Foundation will manage plantation and maintenance.
The plantation drive will use Miyawaki forest models to bring back native trees of the region and monitor survival rates through geo-tagging of each plant.
According to the Foundation, the 90,000 trees are being planted across Aragonda to offset the Apollo Hospitals Groups Carbon footprint by 3800 tonne.
This project aligns with Apollo Foundations' long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability. The company remains dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint and promoting a greener future for a healthier tomorrow.
