Chevron Bangladesh, in collaboration with the environmental organization Green Savers, launched a tree plantation program near its Bibiyana Gas Plant in Habiganj as part of a nationwide initiative aimed at protecting biodiversity. Over five years, the program plans to plant more than 4,000 high-quality seedlings, including flowers, fruit trees, wood trees, and medicinal plants, with an emphasis on indigenous species. This initiative seeks to enhance biodiversity, improve air quality, and provide habitats for local wildlife. Additionally, Debdaru trees will be planted to help reduce noise pollution in the area. Green Savers will oversee the plantation and maintenance of the trees to ensure their health and growth.
At the inauguration, Fardoush Anwar, director of the Sylhet divisional office of the Department of Environment, commended the initiative for its commitment to environmental protection. Eric M Walker, president and managing director of Chevron Bangladesh, emphasized the significance of tree planting in offsetting carbon emissions and fostering a greener future. Ahsan Rony, founder of Green Savers, highlighted the positive impact of corporate sustainability initiatives in creating a greener Bangladesh. The ceremony was attended by various local officials and environmentalists.
