In 2023, the company will continue to expand the tree planting project in Dong Nai province with the goal of planting and taking care of 10 hectares of mangroves.

Mr. Pawalit Ua-Amornwanit, the CFO of CPV, shared: “As a business oriented towards socially and environmentally responsible business, we always strive to implement, accompany and support environmental protection activities inside and outside the company, including afforestation activities. Like other organizations and businesses, C.P. Vietnam also feels very honored to be joining hands with provinces and cities to implement the Prime Minister's project of 1 billion trees and hopes that the project will achieve wonderful results."

Through this project, C.P. Vietnam also wants to spread afforestation activities to more than 30,000 employees in order to raise their awareness about environmental protection and planting trees, which is also a way to protect their own health and life.

With the significance of afforestation and environmental protection activities, the company wishes to continue to expand to many provinces and cities to jointly increase the green color as well as restore and sustainably develop Vietnam's forest area.
