Miyawaki forests
Dense native forests in cities
Does planting trees help a plant meet its CCTS target?
No. CCTS targets cover a plant's own emission intensity, and trees do not reduce it. Plantation helps with green belt, reclamation, compensatory afforestation, CSR and voluntary net-zero goals. See what plantation can count for.
How much of our site must be green belt?
It depends on your environmental clearance. Older clearances often say 33%; a 29 October 2025 ministry memo set category-based minimums for new ones. Work it out with the green belt calculator, or read our green belt guide.
Can you plant on degraded or mined-out land?
Yes. We plan species and soil work for dumps, quarries and degraded land, plant with our team and care for the trees for three years.
Can plantation for a legal condition also count as CSR?
Usually not. Work a company must do by law, such as a clearance condition, generally does not count as CSR spending. Community plantation beyond your duties can. Check with your CSR committee.
How do you report on the trees?
Every tree is geo-tagged and tracked on GreenTrack, with survival checks, photos and reports your compliance, CSR and BRSR teams can use. Survival across our programmes is 85%.
What does a programme cost?
Green belt, reclamation and Miyawaki work is priced per project after a site survey. Tell us about your site for a quote.
