Project Planning & Execution
No of Trees: 10,500
Plantation Location: Girvi Village, Phaltan Taluka, Satara, Maharashtra 415523
Plantation Duration: October 7th, 2024 to November 5th, 2024
Name of Species: Mango, Guava, Anjeer, Lemon
Species Selection & Its Benefits:
The project prioritizes selecting tree species that are native to the region and well-suited to the local climate, ensuring better survival rates and contributing to the long-term ecological health of the area. In addition to the environmental benefits, the chosen species are aligned with local market demand, ensuring that they offer viable income opportunities for farmers.

Beneficiaries Details
Planting Methodology and Its Advantages
Agroforestry: The planting methodology for BAGIC’s agroforestry initiative focuses on providing farmer-centric benefits by integrating tree plantations into bunds and orchards.
This approach offers farmers diversified income through fruit-bearing trees, which have high demand in nearby markets, ensuring year-round productivity and financial stability.
Additionally, the trees enhance soil health and protect against adverse weather, contributing to improved crop yields. From an environmental perspective, this method boosts soil fertility, improves water retention, and reduces erosion. It also promotes biodiversity and supports carbon sequestration, helping to mitigate climate change impacts while fostering a resilient ecosystem.
Benefits of Agroforestry
-
Increased Farmer Incomes: This approach helps in increasing the farmer’s income by as much as 3 times. Farmers benefit from diversified income sources, lifting economic resilience.
-
Poverty Alleviation: By increasing farm productivity and income, agroforestry directly supports SDG 1 (No Poverty)
-
Environmental Sustainability: This model reduces carbon emissions and promotes sustainable land management, aligning with SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 15 (Life on Land).
-
Food Security: Agroforestry enhances agricultural productivity and food availability by integrating fruit-bearing trees with crops, contributing to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger).
-
Carbon Sequestration: Trees planted through agroforestry absorb carbon dioxide, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and supporting BAGIC’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions.
-
Climate Resilience: Agroforestry helps mitigate climate change impacts by improving land productivity and fostering biodiversity.
-
Improved Soil and Water Management: Trees enhance soil fertility, reduce erosion, and increase water retention, resulting in more resilient farming.
Activities During Tree Plantation
The day before the plantation event, the ground team worked hard to prepare the land. Trenches were carefully dug to aid in water retention and prevent soil erosion, ensuring the ideal environment for the saplings. The saplings were then arranged in their respective spots, ready to be planted the following day. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation as we geared up for the big day.
On the day of the plantation, Mr. Abhishek Dole, ESG Lead at BAGIC, along with Ms. Nidhi Singh, CEO and Co-Founder, and Mr. Satender Kumar, CIO and Co-Founder of GBT, joined the farmers to kick off the event with great enthusiasm and dedication. Together with the farmers, it began by performing a traditional pooja in the fields to seek blessings for the project, and the trees were about to be planted. With the pooja complete, we proceeded to plant the saplings, carefully placing them in the prepared land. Natural fertilizer was added to ensure the trees' healthy growth. That day, we successfully planted 600 trees, and over the following month, the remaining saplings were planted, completing the plantation. This hands-on effort was not only about planting trees but also about building a connection with the land, the community, and our shared commitment to sustainability.

1. Agroforestry benefits
trees and crops growing together, improving soil health, biodiversity, and farmers' income. Bajaj Allianz General Insurance knows that planting one tree for each employee by 2027 isn’t just a green gesture—it’s an investment in climate resilience. With agroforestry, you get trees soaking up carbon while crops flourish in richer, more fertile soil. Not to mention, local farmers get a sustainable livelihood boost. It’s like having a superhero team for the environment and agriculture, all working together for a greener planet. Let’s hear it for multitasking trees!
2. Carbon sequestration in agroforestry
Who knew trees could be such overachievers? Carbon sequestration in agroforestry is nature’s answer to climate change. Trees suck up all that excess carbon dioxide floating around, turning it into biomass like a pro. And Bajaj Allianz General Insurance is using this green power to reduce its carbon footprint. Every tree planted in their agroforestry initiative is a carbon superhero, working overtime to keep the atmosphere cool. By 2027, when they’ve planted one tree for each employee, those carbon offsets will add up to a big environmental win. Take that, climate change!
3. Tree plantation sustainability
Tree plantation sustainability is more than just sticking a sapling in the ground and hoping for the best. It’s about making sure those little green warriors survive and thrive, just like Bajaj Allianz General Insurance plans to do with its one-tree-per-employee goal by 2027. By focusing on agroforestry, they ensure these trees don’t just grow—they contribute to the environment and local farming economies. With proper care and management, tree plantations become self-sustaining ecosystems, boosting biodiversity and reducing the environmental impact. Sustainable trees for a sustainable future? Yes, please!
4. Biodiversity in agroforestry
Biodiversity in agroforestry is like nature’s version of a potluck—every plant and animal brings something to the table! When Bajaj Allianz General Insurance plants trees alongside crops, they’re not just adding greenery—they’re inviting a whole host of species to the party. Birds, insects, and even microorganisms show up to enjoy the benefits of a rich, diverse ecosystem. And the more biodiversity, the better the environment functions. This natural balance improves soil health, pest control, and crop yields. It’s like throwing a never-ending, eco-friendly bash where everyone wins.
5. Corporate social responsibility and tree plantation
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and tree plantation go together like peanut butter and jelly—especially for companies like Bajaj Allianz General Insurance. Their "A Legacy of Responsibility" initiative takes CSR to new heights, with a goal to plant one tree for every employee by 2027.
