Sustainable Environment

With the support of its CSR partners, United Way of Baroda advanced environmental sustainability through integrated initiatives focused on afforestation, renewable energy, water conservation, and community engagement. Large-scale Miyawaki forest developments were undertaken across urban and rural areas, promoting biodiversity, ecological restoration, and carbon sequestration, with plantation drives aligned to the “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” campaign that connected environmental action with social values. These efforts were strengthened through active volunteer participation, fostering a culture of environmental stewardship. Clean energy and green infrastructure interventions included the installation of solar-powered streetlights to enhance safety and sustainability in industrial and rural areas, the introduction of solar solutions in educational and childcare institutions, and the transformation of select schools into green model campuses. Water and sanitation initiatives, including upgrades to sewage treatment facilities, groundwater recharge measures, and the installation of high capacity overhead water storage systems, further supported long-term resource management, public health, and environmental resilience across communities.
