The initiative forms part of a broader strategy aimed at helping businesses meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments through the restoration of upstream forest ecosystems and the protection of long-term water security in Vietnam’s Southern Key Economic Region.
The event is being organized by TreeBank in partnership with the Institute for Research on Development Communication (RED), the Vietnam E-commerce Association and OMverse Group.
More than 50 companies and 200 participants are expected to attend, including representatives from organizations and businesses such as HAWA, the Ho Chi Minh City Green Business Association (HGBA), GT: HUB, Vietnam Airlines, OPES Insurance and MoMo.
Participants will take part in activities including the donation of more than 20,000 tree seedlings to local communities, field experiences and networking initiatives focused on sustainable development.
Nguyễn Hương Giang, Executive Director of the TreeBank project, said the event would allow organizations to strengthen their green brand identity while promoting employee engagement through practical tree planting activities.
She said restoring protective forests in Tay Ninh represented a long-term infrastructure solution to help reduce risks linked to groundwater shortages and flooding for factories and offices across southern Vietnam.
“By nurturing upstream forests, we ensure the sustainable lifeline of the southern business community”, Giang said.
Businesses and individuals can register for the event through TreeBank’s Facebook fanpage, Tree Bank.
