FAQ

What is Miduty's purpose behind organizing a tree plantation drive on Earth Day?

At Miduty, our purpose is rooted in holistic wellness — not just for individuals, but for the planet. This Earth Day, we organized a tree plantation drive to contribute to environmental healing through the urban forest model. It aligns with our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals and reflects our belief that true health starts from the ground up. By planting trees in urban spaces, we aim to combat pollution, support biodiversity, and create a greener, healthier environment for all.

How does the urban forest concept align with Miduty’s wellness philosophy?

Miduty believes in healing from within — and that includes the planet. Urban forests bring nature into cities, helping reduce pollution, regulate temperature, and improve mental well-being. These benefits resonate deeply with our core philosophy of holistic health. Just as our supplements support the body at a root level, urban forests support ecological health by restoring green cover. Our tree plantation initiative is an extension of the same values we deliver through our products.

What kind of trees did Miduty plant during the Earth Day initiative?

For our Earth Day plantation drive, Miduty focused on planting native tree species that thrive in local conditions and support biodiversity. These include oxygen-rich, fast-growing trees such as neem, jamun, peepal, and amla. Native species require less maintenance and adapt well to the urban forest model, providing long-term environmental benefits like air purification, carbon absorption, and habitat creation for birds and pollinators.

Is Miduty’s plantation drive part of its ESG goals?

Yes, absolutely. Miduty’s tree plantation drive is a key step in fulfilling our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments. As a brand that believes in responsible wellness, we recognize the importance of sustainable practices. Our plantation efforts reduce our carbon footprint, promote social awareness, and enhance governance by taking measurable action for environmental well-being. It’s how we walk the talk on corporate sustainability.

How does planting trees contribute to holistic health, according to Miduty?

Holistic health includes clean air, a peaceful environment, and a connection with nature. By planting trees, Miduty is creating spaces that improve physical and mental health — reducing stress, improving air quality, and encouraging outdoor activity. Our goal is to extend our wellness philosophy beyond products and into the environments where people live. Trees are nature’s wellness capsules, and we’re committed to planting many more.

Why did Miduty choose the urban forest model over traditional tree plantation?

Urban forests are more impactful in city environments. They’re dense, diverse, and designed to mimic natural ecosystems. Miduty chose this model because it maximizes green cover in smaller areas, delivers quicker ecological benefits, and aligns with our science-backed, results-oriented approach. Like our supplements, urban forests work at the root level to bring visible, lasting wellness — for both people and the planet.

Who participated in Miduty’s Earth Day plantation initiative?

Miduty’s Earth Day initiative saw active participation from our team members, volunteers, and sustainability partners. It was a collaborative effort that reflected our commitment to social responsibility. Employees planted and watered saplings, contributing directly to the urban forest. This hands-on involvement reinforces our belief that wellness starts with action — whether it’s choosing the right supplement or planting a tree.

Is this tree plantation initiative a one-time activity by Miduty?

Not at all. While the Earth Day event was a major milestone, Miduty views tree plantation as a long-term commitment. We’re integrating sustainability into our corporate culture with more plantation drives and eco-initiatives throughout the year. This is just the beginning of our journey toward environmental wellness — and we’re excited to keep growing, literally and figuratively.

What benefits do urban forests offer in Indian cities, according to Miduty?

Urban forests help reduce air pollution, mitigate heat islands, support biodiversity, and improve the mental health of city dwellers. Miduty sees urban forests as essential to India’s urban future. These green spaces promote sustainability while offering residents a healthier environment. Our initiative supports this vision by contributing to greener cities where both people and nature thrive in harmony.

How can individuals support Miduty’s environmental initiatives?

Individuals can support Miduty’s green mission by participating in our plantation events, spreading awareness, and making eco-conscious choices in daily life. Even small actions, like supporting brands that prioritize sustainability or planting a tree in your community, make a difference. At Miduty, we believe collective action is the key to lasting impact — and we welcome everyone to join us in this journey toward a healthier planet.
