Provincial and CPV leaders attended the launch ceremony of 'Eternal gratitude to Uncle Ho' tree-planting campaign and the Prime Minister's programme to plant 1 billion trees "For a Green Vietnam”

The 'Eternal gratitude to Uncle Ho' tree-planting campaign and the Prime Minister's programme to plant 1 billion trees 'For a Green Vietnam' will see trees being planted in Dong Thap and Dong Nai provinces.

In response to the Prime Minister's call to plant one billion trees, CPV has implemented the project "CPV - Journey for a Green Vietnam" for 2021-2025, with the goal of planting 1.5 million trees in Vietnam with the budget is more than $1 million.

The project started by planting 500,000 trees at the company's factories and farms. It then spread to planting 1 million trees throughout many provinces and cities in Vietnam.

The company continues to expand the tree planting project in Dong Nai province with the goal of planting and taking care of 10 hectares of mangroves, and Dong Thap province will plant and take care of 115,799 ha mangrove apple trees in 107 riverbanks and canals at risk of landslides in 30 communes in the districts of Cao Lanh, Lap Vo, Lai Vung, Chau Thanh and Sa Dec city.

CPV granted a board to contribute 10ha of mangrove in 2023-2025 for the Tree Planting programme in Dong Nai province

The project has helped to increase the amount of forest, prevent erosion, stabilise alluvial flats, boost infrastructure along rivers and canals, and better safeguard locals' lives and production.

It will also preserve the ecological environment, and enhance the quality of life for residents. Additionally, it will reduce the effects of climate change on Vietnam's cities and provinces.

"As a company focused on conducting socially and environmentally responsible business, we consistently strive to implement, accompany, and support for environmental protection activities inside and outside the company, including afforestation activities," said Pawalit Ua-Amornwanit, CFO of C.P. Vietnam Corporation.

"Like other companion organisations and businesses in Dong Nai province, C.P. Vietnam feels very honoured to be collaborating with the provinces and cities to carry out the Prime Minister's initiative of 1 billion trees and hopes the project will be successful."

Through this project, the company also hopes to expand afforestation activities to more than 30,000 employees in an effort to increase employee understanding of the importance of planting trees and protecting the environment, which also protects our own health and lives.

The company wants to keep growing to many provinces and cities to jointly expand the green colour as well as restore and sustainably develop the forest area to recognise the importance of planting trees to create forests and environmental protection operations.
