Project Harit: An afforestation and decarbonisation initiative to help improve green cover within our communities
SEIL Energy's long-standing commitment to sustainability is foundational to the organisation’s efforts to do good, and work closely with its community to improve their quality of life and empower them in an all-encompassing manner. Over the years, the company has been developing green cover by planting saplings to grow green belts in and around its area of operations.
As a part of its afforestation and decarbonisation programme, Project Harit was undertaken to improve green cover. It consisted of plantation drives at seven public institutions, across Nellore and Tirupati districts in Andhra Pradesh. During the first phase of the project, over 16,400 saplings were planted. The initiative spanned 40 acres, covering public spaces, buildings, and key institutional infrastructure - residential schools, colleges, and a police parade ground. The enhanced green cover is expected to sequester around 3,200 tonnes of CO2 over the years. SEIL remains focused on its path towards business success, built on the foundation of operational, environmental, social, and governance sustainability.
