Planting for the future
08/2024: To mark Earth Month in April, Vetropack Chișinău planted 2,500 acacia trees in the Moldovan village of Iordanovca. This campaign aims to combat soil degradation and promote ecological health. Around 50 enthusiastic employees, together with their families, volunteered to get involved in this charitable project. During the same period, Vetropack Chișinău also staged an art competition to raise the younger generation‘s awareness about recycling and environmental protection.
Vetropack Chișinău has launched a large-scale tree-planting initiative to support and promote our company‘s environmental, social and governance principles. To mark Earth Month, the company committed to plant at least 50 trees. On one day – despite the hot weather – the participants planted around 2,500 acacia trees in the village of Iordanovca, which is threatened by soil degradation and landslides. The participants came together for a supper to celebrate the successful completion of this communal planting campaign. The local government supported the initiative and praised the communal commitment to environmental protection.
Business Unit Manager Boris Crivoi declared: “Planting a wood or a forest is an invaluable investment in a greener and safer future. This project will bring about long-term improvements to the environment and the quality of life for Moldova‘s citizens. We are delighted that the Vetropack Chișinău team has put this worthy initiative into practice in the village of Iordanovca.” Trees are extremely important for the ecosystem. They clean the air, they provide habitats for wild animals, and they play their part in making the environment more healthy. With every tree we plant, Vetropack is taking a step towards a greener future. Earth Month reminds us of our responsibility to protect the environment. The team undertook this project successfully in collaboration with the experts from Moldsilva, the central forestry administration body in Moldova.
As well as the tree-planting campaign, Vetropack organised an art competition for employees‘ children. The theme – 'Healing the Planet! Recycling' – inspired the young particpants to demonstrate their talents and their commitment to sustainability: an excellent way for them to get to grips with the topic of recycling at an early age.
«Here at Vetropack, we are constantly working to reduce our ecological footprint and to preserve the environment for future generations.»
