Leaders of Lai Chau province and Vietnam Electricity planted trees at the premises of Lai Chau Hydropower Plant
EVN’s employees have always attached great importance to tree planting, associated with the development of the power industry in Vietnam, not only for today but also for the next generations.
With that in mind, EVN held a launching ceremony in response to the tree-planting festival movement in 2021 in order to raise the awareness of employees throughout EVN about the role and meaning of tree planting, protection of the ecological environment, contributing to mitigating natural disasters and responding to climate change.

The Chairman of EVN's Board of Directors also asked member organizations of the Group to proactively develop and implement plans of planting and taking care of trees at their premises, offices, and appropriate landscape areas. EVN as a whole will strive to plant and take care of 100,000 trees in 2021 and sets a target of planting and taking care of 1 million trees in the period 2021 - 2025.
