Staying on Track to Plant 3 Million Trees Over 10 Years

The initiative in Gia Lai is part of C.P. Vietnam’s “Journey for a Green Vietnam” program, implemented from 2021 to 2030 with the goal of planting 3 million trees nationwide. It is one of the company’s key initiatives to fulfill its environmental commitments, expand green coverage and contribute to Vietnam’s efforts to address climate change.

From 2021 to 2025, C.P. Vietnam achieved its target of planting 1.5 million trees. Building on this achievement, the company will continue working with the Department of Forestry and Forest Protection from 2026 to 2030 to plant an additional 1.5 million trees, with the aim of reaching the overall target of 3 million trees by 2030.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Worawit Arunraksa, Sustainability Development Director of C.P.

Building on the 1.5 million trees planted during the first phase, C.P. Vietnam is now working toward planting another 1.5 million trees over the next five years, progressively advancing its commitment in collaboration with government agencies and local authorities. As part of this journey, the plan to support 150,000 trees in Gia Lai represents a concrete step in aligning the company’s sustainable development goals with local environmental protection needs and efforts to expand green spaces.

Together, let’s plant green seeds today and create a greener, more sustainable environment for future generations.

Through these ongoing initiatives, C.P. Vietnam aims to create lasting environmental value, ensuring that every tree planted today can continue to grow and deliver tangible benefits to communities in the years to come.
