Project Aranyam – Towards a Greener Future
Project Aranyam reflects VISL’s strong commitment to environmental stewardship and community partnership. Through a large-scale afforestation drive launched in FY26, the company planted ~1,85,000 saplings across locations, including at plant sites and within the communities. The initiative not only to helping enhance the green cover but also augments long-term carbon sequestration efforts, while also contributing to the biodiversity in the operational areas.
At Sirigere Mutt, Karnataka, ~ 10,000 fruit-bearing saplings were planted across 20 acres of land. Implemented as part of the #IronWill4GreenerPlanet campaign and aligned with World Environment Day, the initiative supports biodiversity enhancement, improves soil health, and creates sustainable green zones that benefit both nature and local communities. ~30000 saplings were planted in an around communities proximal to Bokaro, Jharkhand.
By focusing on fruit-bearing species, Project Aranyam ensures long-term ecological and community value , providing food security, enhancing livelihoods, and strengthening local ecosystems. It also embodies a shared vision of resilience and regeneration, where industry and community unite to nurture the environment.
VISL is committed to fostering environmental stewardship and the sustained plantation efforts also contribute to restoring landscapes, empowering communities, and embedding sustainability into everyday operations – testimony to transforming environmental responsibility into meaningful action.
