TLDR

  • Acecook Vietnam launched a project to plant 10,500 trees in Quang Tri province, aiming to reforest natural areas and enhance carbon absorption.
  • The project, funded by revenue from the Acecook Happiness Concert, focuses on planting native species in areas with FSC-ES certification for ecosystem services.
  • This initiative aligns with Acecook's commitment to sustainable development, environmental protection, and community contribution, supporting local livelihoods and international standards.

Acecook Vietnam proudly announces the launch of its "Sowing Happiness - Greening the Future" project, a significant environmental initiative aimed at planting 10,500 trees in the ecologically vital region of Quang Tri. This endeavor, situated in the Trăng - Tà Puồng and other villages within Hướng Lập and Hướng Phùng communes, underscores our unwavering commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship. The chosen planting sites are part of Vietnam's first natural forest area certified for Ecosystem Services (FSC-ES), highlighting the project's direct contribution to carbon absorption and storage.

This project is more than just reforestation; it's a tangible manifestation of our corporate philosophy that happiness extends beyond musical stages to real-world actions. Funded by the proceeds of our annual Acecook Happiness Concert, this initiative transforms artistic joy into lasting environmental benefits. We are planting not only trees like *trẩu* and other native species such as *bồ kết*, *bồ hòn*, *xoan nhừ*, *giổi*, *lát hoa*, and *huỷnh*, but also sowing seeds for economic prosperity for the local communities. These trees will help restore the natural ecosystem, prevent soil erosion, protect water sources, and provide a future income stream for the residents.

Hội các nhóm hộ có chứng chỉ rừng Quảng Trị cam kết sẽ tiếp tục đóng vai trò kết nối - hướng dẫn - và đồng hành cùng cộng đồng để triển khai hoạt động này một cách hiệu quả, minh bạch và đúng với các nguyên tắc quản lý rừng bền vững theo tiêu chuẩn FSC và yêu cầu của nhà tài trợ.

This collaboration ensures that our efforts are not only environmentally sound but also managed with transparency and adherence to international standards of sustainable forest management.

This project embodies our vision of a future where business growth nurtures both the environment and the communities we serve.

Những thanh âm hạnh phúc không chỉ dừng lại trong không gian âm nhạc, mà sẽ tiếp tục lan tỏa bằng những hành động thiết thực ngoài đời sống.
