Greenply Industries, a leading manufacturer of plywood, block boards, decorative veneers, flush doors, and related products, has made a commitment to prioritize the health and safety of carpenters and contractors, as well as environmental concerns. The company is focusing on product innovation with zero emissions (E-0) and implementing health and wellbeing programs for its stakeholders, recognizing their crucial contributions to the industry.

Greenply’s E-0 product innovation specifically targets the health and wellbeing of carpenters and contractors who are frequently exposed to harmful emission gases from plywood during interior applications. The zero-emission plywood (E-0) developed by Greenply eliminates formaldehyde emissions, providing a safer working environment and reducing health hazards for the community.

The E-0 innovation has already reached more than 1 million households, and Greenply continues to raise awareness among its stakeholders through various communication channels. In a move towards environmental sustainability, Greenply has achieved Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification for its plantations in Tizit, Nagaland, ensuring ecological harmony and assuring consumers that the sourced products are sustainable.

As part of its commitment to employee safety, Greenply offers accident insurance coverage of Rs 4 lakh to its contractor partners through a leading insurance partner. Sanidhya Mittal, Joint MD of Greenply Industries, expressed, “We believe it is our responsibility to provide opportunities and support to carpenters and contractors associated with Greenply throughout India. Recognizing their contributions and providing them with medical, educational, and other support aligns with our core values of care and inclusive growth.”

In addition to these initiatives, Greenply runs Green Samriddhi, a relationship program for the contractor and carpenter community. This program involves regular upskilling training programs in collaboration with the Furniture & Fittings Skill Council (FFSC) and provides digital interventions to enhance business operations.
