WD marks Environment Day with Tree Plantation

Reaffirming its commitment to environment, WD has planted up to 1,000 trees in Malihabad, Uttar Pradesh. The company has also encouraged its customers, partners and friends to spread awareness and pledge their support via WD’s Facebook page.

WD’s World Environment Day initiatives will commence on its Facebook page through a special application that encourages Facebook friends to make a promise towards creating a greener environment, and share their ideas of going green. For every promise made, WD will plant a tree in Malihabad (with a maximum of 1,000 trees) in August 2014. To assist with planting and upkeep of planted trees, WD has tied up with JAZZ, an NGO started by Ms Jaazbia Khan, a Lucknow-based school student. The NGO adopts arid land areas and helps organizations with tree-plantation drives. The tree plantation will help in restoring the depleted water table in the region while also creating employment opportunities for the local youth.

Subroto Das, WD’s Sales Director India, commented, “The tree-plantation drive and the awareness campaign is a part of WD’s commitment towards the environment. We wish to encourage our customers and partners to make eco-friendly choices, and join us in our attempt to contribute to a greener world.  We thank all the volunteers who are a part of this initiative, and are trying to improve and sustain the environment in their surroundings.”

As a part of its campaign, WD will also encourage resellers to adopt eco-friendly practices. Resellers will receive money plants as gifts and special leaflets made of eco-friendly material highlighting tips on contributing towards a greener environment.
