A typical example is the program "Living healthy and contributing to green with Panasonic" which has been successfully implemented in 3 years: 2022, 2023, 2024. On the scale of 20 provinces and cities from North to South with a total of more than 1 million trees. The types of plants on the planting list are carefully selected according to the scientific standard system, to optimize CO2 absorption.
"The program has strongly spread awareness of forest protection among organizations and individuals. At the same time, calling for small but practical actions of the community towards environmental protection by joining hands to protect forests, restore forests, increase coverage on forestry land, improve protection of upstream areas, preserve and enhance biodiversity, sustainably restore the forest ecological environment; create jobs for workers; develop socio-economy" - Mr. Tuan said.
