Climate action
In the face of the growing threat of climate change, marked by rising global temperatures and the depletion of natural resources, immediate action is crucial. We are committed to playing an active role in global efforts to secure a sustainable future for generations to come. Our vision is to transform the villages within our operational areas into self-reliant, eco-friendly communities that are resilient to climate impacts.
To achieve this, we focus on revitalising barren land through organised plantation efforts, promoting sustainable sanitation practices, and supporting the adoption of green energy solutions. We also prioritise water conservation initiatives, ensure the responsible disposal of solid and liquid waste, and encourage climate-resilient farming practices. Through these integrated interventions, we are working towards a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future for our communities and the environment.
Water Conservation
23
ponds excavated (including stream cleaning) in FY 2024-25
80,370 cu.m.
additional water-holding capacity created across 4 sites
The Adani Foundation prioritises water conservation through strategic investments in rural infrastructure. The focus is on long-term solutions to combat water scarcity, including the construction of check dams, excavation of ponds, and installation of rooftop rainwater harvesting systems in households. These initiatives aim to secure a sustainable water supply for irrigation, drinking, and livestock needs, while also enhancing the groundwater table.
Water Capacity Across Locations
| Location | No. of structures | Additional water storage capacity created (cu.m.) |
|---|---|---|
| Tiroda | 3 | 17,917 |
| Raigarh | 2 | 13,577 |
| Singrauli | 9 | 9,106 |
| Raipur | 8 | 39,770 |
| Total | 22 | 80,370 |
Plantation
1,71,493
plants were planted across 7 locations – Godda,, Kawai, Raigarh, and Singrauli – benefiting 116 villages
92,626
plants were planted through mass plantation efforts, while 36,265 individual trees were planted
Deforestation, driven by industrialisation and inadequate technological enforcement, significantly contributes to climate change, raising global temperatures and impacting agriculture-dependent communities. In response to global calls for action, such as the 1 trillion Trees Campaign by the COP and World Economic Forums, the Adani Group has committed to planting 100 million trees by 2030. The Adani Foundation plays a key role in executing this commitment through large-scale plantation projects, contributing to environmental sustainability and addressing climate change.
Objectives of the Programme:
- Expanding green cover by planting indigenous species for both environmental and economic benefits
- Promoting the cultivation of fruit-bearing trees to increase household incomes while benefiting the environment
- Establishing community leadership frameworks for the sustainable conservation, restoration, and cultivation of trees
