The Guinness World Record attempt for the ‘Largest Photo Album of People Planting Plants’ was announced on 28 July on the World Nature Conservation Day. Several participants including employees, stakeholders, and masses from across India and the company’s global markets participated in Hero GreenDrive by uploading an image of them planting a plant. The Guinness World Records Adjudicator was virtually present to witness the world record attempt and determine the veracity of the activity with support from independent witnesses, who were appointed as per the official guidelines.

The ‘Largest Online Photo Album of People Planting Plants’ is the second consecutive world record by Hero MotoCorp in quick succession after being recognised by Guinness World Records for creating the ‘Largest Motorcycle Logo’ in August 2021. The logo was made with 1845 units of the Hero Splendor + at the brand’s manufacturing unit in Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh.
