At Zentiva, our commitment to sustainability is rooted in tangible action and long-term impact. In the latest episode of our Sustainability Podcast series, we are honored to host Dr RK Nair, widely recognized as the Green Hero of India, whose pioneering work in reforestation has transformed landscapes and communities across the country.

Episode #14 the Forest Creators

In conversation with Tomas Pala, Corporate Affairs Manager at Zentiva, Dr Nair recounts his journey from witnessing the devastating effects of deforestation to founding Forest Creators, a nonprofit organization that has planted over 
3.3 million trees and established 128 Miyawaki forests, including the largest of its kind globally.

Key Themes Explored in the Episode:

  • The critical importance of biodiversity in building a resilient and sustainable future
  • Innovative approaches to forest creation in undeveloped and urban areas
  • The personal and emotional experiences that catalyzed a movement
  • Opportunities for employee engagement and participation in Zentiva’s reforestation initiatives

Just prior to recording, Dr Nair inaugurated a new forest project in Bangalore, planting 1,800 trees - a powerful example of the living change we strive to support and amplify through our sustainability efforts.

This episode offers a compelling narrative of environmental leadership and community-driven impact. It invites listeners to reflect on their own role in fostering sustainability and to take part in Zentiva’s broader mission to protect and restore natural ecosystems.
