Over 1,500 saplings. 25 hotels. 2,000+ employees. One powerful Earth Day.

IBIS India Goes Green With A Nationwide Tree Plantation Drive 🌱

This Earth Day, ibis India didn’t just talk the talk—they planted the roots. Across 25 hotels nationwide, ibis teams came together on April 22nd to plant over 1,500 saplings, putting their green hearts into action with a movement that reached from Mumbai to Kochi, Jaipur to Hyderabad.

This wasn’t just a feel-good gesture. It was a bold, tangible step in a world where climate extremes are no longer rare—they’re reality. With 2023 recorded as India’s second warmest year since 1901, ibis India’s tree drive isn’t symbolic. It’s strategic, necessary, and deeply human.

“This is who we are,” said Tejus Jose, Director of Operations at ibis & ibis Styles India. “Sustainability is built into the ibis blueprint—not just as a buzzword, but as a daily way of working. This Earth Day, we wanted to take that purpose beyond policies and plant it into the ground—literally.”

From hotel courtyards to community parks, ibis employees rolled up their sleeves and dug in—some partnering with local civic bodies, others creating micro-forests within their premises. The initiative involved over 2,000 employees, showing how a people-first culture can drive planet-positive change.

Beyond the tree drive, ibis India is walking the sustainability talk with initiatives like:

The Green Tourism Pledge—encouraging guests and staff to travel lighter and greener
Energy and water conservation systems
Responsible waste management
Community beach clean-ups and civic-led eco-drives

Each effort is a brick in a much bigger vision: a hospitality industry that thrives without costing the Earth.

“Whether it’s planting trees or reducing plastic, our focus is on impact that lasts,” Jose added. “We believe the hospitality of the future is as sustainable as it is stylish—and deeply local.”

With its Earth Day tree drive, ibis India proves that big change can start with small actions—especially when done together.
