How does VANJIV plant trees through running?

VANJIV partners with marathon and race organisers. A portion of every race registration or brand sponsorship is channelled into certified reforestation projects. Your kilometres translate directly into trees planted in verified plantation sites.

Where are VANJIV forests located?

VANJIV currently operates active plantation sites in India — Karnataka and Rajasthan. Every site is GPS-verified and monitored with 98% tree survival rate.

How can a race or event partner with VANJIV?

Race organisers can partner with VANJIV by filling in the partnership inquiry form on our website or emailing partners@vanjiv.com. We offer white-label tree-planting packages, digital certificates for participants, live impact dashboards, and co-branded sustainability reports.

How many trees has VANJIV planted?

VANJIV has planted over 2,480 trees across 2 certified forest sites in India, partnering with 2 events — Bengaluru Marathon and TCS World 10K Bengaluru. Every tree is tracked and contributes to measurable CO₂ sequestration.

Our Story

VANJIV is
Forest Life.

VANJIV — meaning "Forest Life" — was born from a simple conviction: human energy should heal the planet, not exhaust it. We partner with events, organizations, and communities to ensure every finish line marks a new beginning — for a tree, a forest, an ecosystem.

Through proprietary impact tracking and on-ground reforestation networks starting in India, we convert every runner, every event completed, every milestone reached into permanent, verified tree plantations — creating nature-driven communities that will stand for generations.

Life-Driven Mission

Every partnership plants seeds — literal and metaphorical — for a regenerated planet.

Measurable Impact

Transparent tracking. Every tree, every tonne of CO₂, every community — all counted.

Global Movement

From local 5K runs to international marathons — VANJIV scales your impact globally.

Your Legacy

Every step leaves
a living mark.

After every VANJIV event, each runner receives a certificate tied to real trees planted in their name. Not a token. A living record of something that actually happened.

Certificate format

Your tree has an address.

A real place on earth. A coordinate you could stand on. Somewhere a forest is quietly growing because you ran.

A mark that doesn't disappear.

Every certificate carries a unique identity - tied to one tree, one runner, one moment that can't be undone.

Something worth keeping.

Not a notification. Not a badge. A document you'll want to print and hold - or pass to someone who matters.

The connection doesn't end at the finish line.

Your tree keeps growing long after the race is over. That's the point - you started something that outlasts you.

The VANJIV Experience

"Not just a run.
A resurrection of Earth."

The First Step

A runner laces their shoes at dawn. The city is still asleep. They don't know it yet, but this run will plant three trees in the Sahel.

The Finish Line

Forty-two kilometers later, arms raised, lungs burning - not just a personal record. A new life given to Earth.

The Forest

Six months later, three saplings rise from red earth. Roots drinking deep. Leaves catching the first rains. Your run, now alive.

Our Approach

Simple to join.
Real in impact.

We believe in doing one thing well — turning running events into lasting forests. No jargon, no gimmicks. Just runners, trees, and on-ground teams making it real, one event at a time.

Verified Planting

Every tree is GPS-tagged before it goes into the ground. You get the exact site, species, and coordinates — no inflated numbers, no guesswork.

Runner Certificates

Every participant receives a personalised digital certificate — their name, their tree, its GPS location. A real keepsake tied to a real tree in the ground.

Event Integration

We work directly with race organisers to weave tree planting into the event — from registration to finish line to post-race impact sharing.

5-Year Care

Planting is just the start. Our on-ground teams monitor and maintain every site for five years — that is how we hold a 98% tree survival rate.

Transparent Reporting

Sponsors and event organisers receive clear impact reports — tree counts, CO₂ data, runner participation, and site photographs. Nothing hidden.

Growing Across India

We started in Karnataka and Rajasthan. With every new event partner, we add a new verified forest site — state by state, race by race.

2030 Goal

One billion trees.
Planted by human movement.

By 2030, every marathon, every 5K, every company wellness challenge, every school sports day will have a green footprint - powered by VANJIV.
