Hero MotoCorp organised a massive tree plantation drive across seven locations in the country where over 2.5 lakh trees were planted. The company's biggest plantation drive was organised in Dehra Dun district of Uttarakhand where the company got together with 35,000 families from 36 gram panchayats and 15 wards in the region and planted over 2.1 lakh trees. This also led to a record of maximum families participating in a tree plantation drive, and was verified by 'Asia Book of Records' and 'India Book Of Records'.
