Omex Limited’s Massive Tree Plantation Drive on World Environment Day

Lucknow : On June 5, 2025, in observance of World Environment Day, Omex Limited spearheaded a large-scale tree plantation campaign across its key locations in Lucknow — Omex Metro City, Kisan Path, and the Omex Integrated Township in Gomtinagar Extension. The initiative saw enthusiastic participation not only from Omex employees but also from their families and children, all united in a shared mission to enhance urban greenery.

Under the guidance of Anjani Kumar Pandey, Business Head of Omex Limited, the event officially commenced with an opening address that underscored the critical importance of afforestation. “Greenery is the cornerstone of our healthy future,” Pandey remarked. “By planting more trees today, we ensure cleaner air and a sustainable environment for generations to come. Sustainability isn’t optional—it’s essential.”

Throughout the morning, participants planted a variety of native saplings, including neem, peepal, banyan, and flowering species such as gulmohar and amaltas. Each location featured designated planting zones, complete with soil beds enriched for optimal growth. Omex volunteers provided sapling-care demonstrations, teaching attendees best practices for watering, mulching, and protecting young plants from pests.

Family involvement was a highlight of the drive. Young and old worked side by side, digging pits and gently placing saplings into the earth. Omex arranged interactive sessions for children, where they learned about tree biology, the benefits of carbon sequestration, and the role of urban forests in mitigating heat islands.

The plantation campaign aimed not only to bolster local green cover but also to foster community engagement in environmental stewardship. By inviting employees’ families, Omex sought to strengthen the bond between organization and community, reinforcing the message that protecting the planet is a collective responsibility.

In his closing remarks, Anjani Kumar Pandey reaffirmed Omex Limited’s pledge to weave sustainability into every facet of its development philosophy. “This drive is more than a one-day event,” he emphasized. “It marks another milestone on our journey to contribute to a greener, cleaner tomorrow. We will continue to monitor these saplings and support their growth, ensuring they flourish for decades.”

Omex Limited’s tree plantation drive is part of a broader corporate social responsibility (CSR) framework that integrates environmental care with urban development. Earlier this year, the company launched waste-reduction programs and solar-panel installations at its headquarters. The latest greening initiative underscores Omex’s commitment to holistic, sustainable growth.
