Leaders unite with saplings in hand as WTC Mumbai powers the ‘Plant for the Planet’ movement on World Environment Day!
MVIRDC World Trade Center Mumbai commemorated World Environment Day 2025 by launching a green initiative under the theme “Plant for the Planet: Green Roots, Less Plastic.” The event, held at the Center’s Cuffe Parade premises, focused on reinforcing environmental responsibility and called for collective action to reduce plastic use and adopt sustainable practices. Special Guest Ms. Roop Rashi, Chief Executive Officer, Khadi and Village Industries Commission, graced the occasion and participated in the ceremonial plantation drive.
Our commitment to a greener future must be rooted in collective responsibility and mindful action. Initiatives like this are vital to creating lasting awareness and behaviour change, said Ms. Roop Rashi, applauding WTC Mumbai’s environmental leadership. By planting for the planet and pledging to reduce plastic waste, we not only contribute to environmental conservation but also inspire others to follow, said Capt. Somesh Batra, Vice Chairman, WTC Mumbai.
The celebration featured symbolic sapling plantations under the message “One Plant, One Pledge,” reaffirming WTC Mumbai’s dedication to sustainability.
WTC Mumbai’s launch of the Pledge Diary initiative marks a decisive step toward institutionalizing environmental responsibility within its ecosystem. With active participation from over 50+ people. It aligns closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in areas concerning responsible consumption and climate action. This effort not only strengthens WTC Mumbai’s long-standing commitment to sustainability but also positions the organization as a proactive advocate for eco-conscious trade and investment practices, setting a strong example for business communities across India and beyond.
