16th July 2010, Gati partnered with the AP Government towards turning the state into ‘Harith Andhra Pradesh’. This first of its kind initiative to plant a million trees on a single day had been taken up by the state government to fulfil the cherished dream of late Chief Minister, Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy in turning the state into ‘Harith Andhra Pradesh’, and in turn towards the larger cause of ‘Global Warming’.

This drive, envisaged planting a whopping One Million Saplings in just one day across Andhra Pradesh. As part of this historic tree plantation program, Gati provided the complete logistic support needed for organising transportation of the saplings from nurseries to various plantation sites.

Gati strongly believes in its responsibility towards the environment. One such initiative undertaken by Gati in the year 2010-11 was the plantation and maintenance of the Green Belt under the Metro Track in Gurgaon, Delhi to offset carbon emissions.

As part of this initiative, Gati had planted about 150 tall trees and 300 shorter trees over a stretch of one and a half kilometers to offset carbon dioxide emission. The trees which were planted included Ficus panda (perennial green tree), Bottle Brush (flowering tree), Badelia (ground cover-to prevent evaporation and top soil loss and soil cover for less dust). This would offset approx 1500 to 2500 tonnes of carbon emissions.

The tsunami that struck South East Asia on December 2004 was one of nature's worst disasters ever. It left in its wake more than 10 lakhs people dead and over four million displaced. The tsunami relief operations have been hailed as one of the fastest and most massive operations ever. Gati was one of the first to reach the rescue scenes at Nagapattnam and Cuddalore. Gati brought in food, water, clothing, medication and a team of doctors. The team took special care of children, who were the most affected and also provided the community with essential utensils like plates, glasses etc.

On 26 January 2001, Gujarat was hit by a massive earthquake. Bhuj district is the worst affected. Gati personnel sprang into action and reached Maye village on the same day to provide food, clothing, medication and water to the earthquake-affected community. A team of doctors were also brought in to provide medical aid to the 400 families in Maye. Gati was the first to build makeshift houses for these families -(houses that were scientifically designed to resist earthquakes). Even today, though the villagers have managed to rebuild their homes, they still retain these structures.

Team Gati celebrated the festival of Makar Sankranti with the differently-abled kids at Aashray Care Home, Jaipur on January 11, 2011. All the Jaipur Gati’ites and Gati associates came together to extend their affection and care at Aashray Care Home by enjoying and celebrating the kite festival with tiny tots at the center.

Rajouli village, known for its famous Gadwal sarees was among one of the worst affected villages in Mahabubnagar district, Andhra Pradesh that was hit by the floods in the first week of October 2009. While the Government provided assistance in building houses for the villagers there, Gati acquired 2 acres of land in the village just opposite to where these houses were being constructed and built two worksheds for the weavers there in line with their requirements. The first workshed was inaugurated on September 21, 2010 and the second on December 23, 2011. Both the worksheds together accommodate 78 weavers. Gati also tied up with Enadu to provide looms to these weavers . In addition to construction of worksheds, a yarn spinning machine was also provided to them to make them self sufficient. Proper facilities in terms of washrooms, drinking water, plantation of trees, etc has also been provided.

As an organisation, Gati has always advocated a work culture that practices Corporate Social Responsibility at an individual employee level. On the death anniversary of our founder Late Shri P.D. Agarwal on 17th September , Gati organises Annual Blood Donation Camps at its Express Distribution Centres across India.

December 2009, Gati celebrated it's Christmas party in a very special way, by visiting children at orphanages across Pune, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai and Mumbai. A special Christmas program was conducted by the Gati team to spread the joy of Christmas. The team distributed sweets, cakes and gifts to children and made it a memorable Christmas for one and all.

As a contribution to the Andhra Pradesh Janmabhoomi program, Gati partnered with the Govt of AP and built a school building with all necessary facilities -- spacious classrooms, toilets and staff rooms.The building has a total of 27 rooms and a large playground. Apart from this, Gati also provided all the necessary furniture needed for students and staff. Even today, the housekeeping, security and maintenance of the school are still under our purview. Gati also organizes and sponsors all yearly events conducted at the school. Today the school provides education for over 1000 plus students.
