A large-scale environmental campaign on tree planting was held in the Salavat Kupere microdistrict within the framework of the SIBUR Green Formula program in support of the national Ecology project. More than 200 trees, including firs, limes and maples, as well as over 120 shrubs decorated the new site at the intersection of Nail Yusupov and Alfiya Avzalova streets. More than 100 people took part in the event, including representatives of the Ministry of Ecology of the Republic of Tatarstan, employees of Kazanorgsintez, Rosprirodnadzor of the Republic of Tatarstan, the Executive Committee of Kazan and concerned residents of the city.
"The company's contribution to working with the residents of the Republic of Tatarstan on the formation of environmentally friendly behavior is valuable to us. This includes joint planting of seedlings, separate waste collection, classes on environmental education for youth and children," said Deputy Minister of Ecology Olga Manidicheva.
Many participants came with their families from other districts to decorate the neighborhood with green areas. The activists shared that they have long wanted to participate in such a campaign and hope that tree planting will become a real family tradition.
Let us recall that SIBUR's desoclimatic program "Green Formula" is aimed at reducing the company's climate impact and fulfilling its strategic goal of sustainable development. Over the past three years, more than 700 trees and shrubs have been planted in Salavat Kupere alone as part of this program. By 2025, it is planned to plant at least 5 million trees in the regions of SIBUR's presence.
