Indian electric vehicle startup Zypp Electric has recently introduced its Green’o’Meter initiative, with the goal of planting 1 million trees by the year 2030. This initiative is in line with the company’s mission to achieve zero emissions and create a carbon-free environment in India.

The Green’o’Meter initiative prominently showcases Zypp Electric’s endeavors in emission reduction, as evidenced by a visible ticker on its website. This ticker effectively quantifies carbon savings, representing them in terms of trees planted. With each 100,000th order fulfilled, Zypp Electric pledges to plant a tree in honor of the respective recipient. Moreover, trees will be dedicated to employees as a gesture of appreciation and acknowledgment.

In a strategic move to bolster the Green’o’Meter initiative, Zypp Electric has forged a strategic alliance with Grow-Trees, a highly esteemed social enterprise. Their collaboration is geared towards supporting the Trees for Tigers endeavor, dedicated to the rejuvenation of the Sundarbans mangroves. This concerted effort serves a dual purpose: mitigating carbon footprint and fostering the restoration of crucial tiger habitats, while concurrently fostering economic opportunities within indigenous communities. Each tree planted under this initiative will be personalized with the donor’s name, and comprehensive details regarding the project’s geographical scope will be readily available.

Akash Gupta, one of the Co-Founders and the CEO at Zypp Electric, conveyed his excitement regarding the endeavor, stating, “At Zypp Electric, we firmly believe that sustainability transcends mere aspiration; it is a fundamental obligation. Presently, we facilitate 50 lakh deliveries every month, witnessing consistent month-on-month growth, thereby significantly contributing to carbon mitigation through our last-mile delivery operations. Our commitment involves the planting of trees upon reaching every 1 lakh delivery milestone, with a target of planting 1 million trees by 2030. This initiative aligns with our Mission Zero Emission and pivotal Green projects spanning across India.”
