Environmental Sustainability
Bajaj Electrical Foundation is committed to promoting environmental sustainability through a wide range of initiatives designed to drive positive environmental change, thereby fostering a better planet and better life for all. Through endeavors like CO2 reduction initiatives, tree plantation, urban afforestation, plastic waste upcycling, and more, we enhance biodiversity and prioritize carbon sequestration as a key part of our commitment to environmental stewardship.
Swasth Ghar Improved Cookstove Project
One of Bajaj Electricals Foundation’s flagship initiatives, the Swasth Ghar Improved Cookstove Project, exemplifies our commitment to creating meaningful change. By distributing 4,000 improved cookstoves in Rajasthan's Karauli district, the project aims to reduce firewood consumption, curb indoor air pollution, and lower CO2 emissions. This initiative not only addresses critical environmental issues but also improves the quality of life for rural communities. Through this effort, we are working towards a sustainable future, where every action contributes to a healthier planet and a better life for all.

Tree Plantation
We actively engage our employees in tree plantation and urban forestation projects, fostering environmental responsibility across the organisation. In collaboration with local Community-Based Organisations and NGOs, we extend the impact of our efforts. We focus on planting native tree species that thrive in the local climate and ecosystem, ensuring long-term survival and minimal disruption to existing habitats. Our urban forestation projects target areas like educational institutions, parks, and schools in cities such as Srinagar, Mumbai, Aurangabad, and Chennai. In three years, we’ve planted around 1,00,000 trees, enhancing green cover and contributing to a more sustainable, greener India.

Solar Electrification
Our solar electrification projects address energy poverty and environmental sustainability by providing clean, reliable, and affordable electricity to underserved communities. In collaboration with local stakeholders, NGOs, and government agencies, we install solar panels, energy storage systems, and distribution networks tailored to community needs. This initiative improves healthcare, education, and overall quality of life. To date, we have successfully implemented solar electrification at 16 Anganwadi centres, 4 government schools, and 1 primary healthcare centre, benefiting over 1,300 students. These projects ensure reliable power for lighting, cooling, and essential services, transforming learning and healthcare environments.
