ITC has been scaling up its afforestation initiatives, in line with India's target of creating additional carbon sinks of 2.5 to 3.0 billion tonnes by 2030. These initiatives have greened more than 10 lakh acres, whilst generating over 185 million person-days of employment for rural households.

ITC's Social Forestry programme has focused on providing training to farmers on productivity improvement, while its agro-forestry model has ensured food, fodder and fuel-wood security and enabled the conservation of natural resources.

The programmes are contributing to the Company's mission of pursuing a low-carbon growth strategy through extensive decarbonisation across its value chains.
