Bangalore, October 31, 2015: Mitsubishi Electric India took up a tree plantation drive at Peenya Metro Station in Bangalore, with an objective to contribute towards environment preservation as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility. Local youth volunteers, social impact groups like Say-trees of Bangalore joined hands with employees of Mitsubishi Electric Group Companies in India for this social cause. The team planted saplings of local species like mahogany, tabubea rosea to minimize the carbon footprints and beautify the area.

Speaking about the initiative, Managing Director of Mitsubishi Electric India, Mr. Makoto Kitai, said, "It was endearing to see employees actively participating along with local youth volunteers in such kind of initiatives. Every individual should try to plant one tree and that will be a major step in protecting our mother nature. We are more than happy in contributing and creating awareness and building concern for the environment amongst today's youth."

In 2021, which is only 6 years from now, Mitsubishi Electric will celebrate its 100th Anniversary.
