1. Our Vision
At Lush & Bark, we believe that a plantation drive is more than simply planting trees-it is an investment in a healthier environment, a greener city and a better future.
Our Corporate Plantation Drive enables companies to actively contribute towards environmental sustainability through a planned, professionally executed and measurable plantation programme.
The initiative can be undertaken as a standalone corporate sustainability activity or as part of a company's CSR and ESG initiatives, subject to applicable laws and eligibility requirements.
7. Our Approach
We believe that the success of a plantation drive should not be measured only by the number of saplings planted.
The real impact comes from ensuring that the plants survive, grow and continue contributing to the environment.
2. How the Plantation Drive Works
Understanding the Objective
We discuss the company's objectives, preferred scale, budget, employee participation and desired plantation locations.
Location Identification
Suitable locations are identified in consultation with relevant authorities, institutions, communities or property owners.
Plant Selection
We recommend suitable native, climate-appropriate and low-maintenance trees and plants based on soil, space, sunlight and long-term requirements.
Plantation Planning
The programme is planned with appropriate spacing, soil preparation, pits, compost/manure, tree guards where required and other necessary materials.
Corporate Plantation Day
Employees, management representatives and other stakeholders can participate in the plantation activity, creating a meaningful team experience around sustainability.
Maintenance & Aftercare
Where required, Lush & Bark can provide watering, monitoring, replacement of failed plants and periodic upkeep.
Impact Documentation
The company can receive documentation covering the location, number of plants, photographs and relevant project details.
