ICSI Plants 4 Lakh Sapling on a Week-long Initiative for Earth Day

The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) achieved a milestone of planting 4 lakh saplings across the country. This was achieved within a week of its start with the aid of 4 lakh students and 44,000 members of ICSI across its regional offices in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai as well as 69 chapters across India. This was a part of the seven day campaign “Save Mother Earth” which was launched last Friday in New Delhi, on the 46^th anniversary of the Earth Day.

ICSI became a part of an initiative where over a billion people in over 193 nations conducted plantation drives and awareness programmes for recycling and conservation. All the members of ICSI significantly contributed towards spreading awareness on environment conservation by planting and nurturing saplings in their surroundings and office premises.

Motivating people to give back to the environment, CS Mamta Binani, President, ICSI expressed her thoughts and concerns through her message to corporates, ICSI students and CS Members across India. She said, “Earth Day challenges us to take seriously our role as caretakers of our natural environment. It inspires us to think of more than just our own sustenance – to act on behalf of this planet that we share with all its inhabitants”. She further added, “Everybody needs to step forward to do their part in making wise choices on the use of our day to day natural resources like water, effectively recycle products which can be recycled and use them and to protect the animals and plants that contribute largely to our natural habitat.”

To continue to inspire and motivate people towards the environment, The Institute also organised a weeklong awareness drive on Environment Conservation through its campaign “ICSI Pledges to save Mother Earth” at it’s regional offices in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai as well as 69 chapters across India.
