HCLFoundation, which drives the corporate social responsibility agenda of HCLTech in India, said on Tuesday it marked the 50th anniversary of HCL Group with a landmark environmental drive, planting 50,000 native saplings and organizing clean-up campaigns at 50 beaches nationwide.

The initiatives, spread across 10 states, brought together HCLTech employees and their families, nonprofit partners, women’s collectives, youth groups and community members, HCLFoundation said in a statement.

The drives form part of HCLFoundation’s broader sustainability push to strengthen ecosystems, conserve natural resources and encourage community participation in environmental stewardship, the organization said.

HCLFoundation said it has greened 74,000 acres of land to date, bringing the area under community management, while more than 155 billion liters of water have been harvested, supporting biodiversity and bolstering water security in some of India’s most water-stressed communities.

As part of its coastal conservation work, the Foundation said it has planted more than 181,000 saplings of terrestrial, mangrove and shelter belt species and collected over 120,800 kg of ghost nets and marine debris to date.

“As we celebrate 50 remarkable years of HCL Group, we are reminded every day that growth and progress are not separable from a deep commitment to a sustainable planet and resilient communities,” said Dr. Nidhi Pundhir, Director, HCLFoundation.

“We believe that meaningful change is achieved when communities come together with a shared purpose, and we are grateful to our employees, families, partners and volunteers for joining us in contributing to a greener, cleaner and more sustainable future.”

HCLFoundation delivers HCLTech’s corporate social responsibility agenda in India, investing in long-term programs focused on education, grassroots sports, health and sanitation, skill development and livelihood, environment, and disaster risk reduction. The Foundation said it has positively impacted more than 8.5 million lives to date.
