Vietnamese At TRG International, we believe in the power of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its ability to make a positive impact on the environment. After a long hiatus due to the pandemic, our TRGers recently had the opportunity to reignite our commitment to sustainability through a tree-planting CSR activity.
In collaboration with local communities, we ventured to Ben Tre, a scenic location just three hours away from our main office in Ho Chi Minh City, to plant mangroves.

Reconnecting with nature and bonding
Tree planting has always been an essential and highly anticipated CSR activity for TRGers. It provides a meaningful way for our team to reconnect with nature, contribute to environmental conservation, and foster a sense of unity and purpose among our employees.
This year's tree-planting event in Ben Tre was no exception. After successfully planting the mangroves, our TRGers enjoyed a healthy lunch together, savouring good food and catching up with each other.
The remaining free time was dedicated to bonding activities that further strengthened our team spirit. Some of us hopped onto boats and cruised along the picturesque river, embracing the serenity of the surroundings. Others opted for cycling, exploring the scenic landscapes while getting some exercise. Some took the opportunity to relax and snooze, recharging their energy amidst the tranquillity of nature. It was a precious moment for catching up on each other's lives, sharing stories, and fostering deeper connections.

Why mangroves?
Mangroves, a unique species of tree, hold immense ecological importance. We focused on planting mangroves due to the numerous benefits they offer to the environment and local communities. Here are a couple of key advantages:
- Natural disaster protection: mangroves act as a natural shield against the devastating impacts of natural disasters. With their intricate root systems, they provide a protective barrier, reducing the intensity of storms, floods, and coastal erosion. By planting mangroves, we contribute to the resilience of coastal areas and enhance the safety of nearby communities.
- Biodiversity conservation: Mangrove forests are biodiversity hotspots, providing habitat for an array of plant and animal species. By preserving and expanding these ecosystems, we support biodiversity conservation, ensuring the survival of various flora and fauna. Our efforts contribute to maintaining the delicate balance of our planet's ecosystems.
A greener future
Our tree-planting CSR activity aligns with our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The event encourages us to actively participate in the global fight against climate change and contribute to the restoration of our planet's natural balance. Furthermore, such initiatives inspire our team and encourage a sense of purpose beyond our daily work, reminding us of the importance of our collective efforts to create a greener future.
As we embarked on our journey back to the main office, Mother Nature had a surprise in store for us. A heavy storm caught us off guard, testing our resilience and adaptability. Despite the stormy encounter, our tree-planting CSR activity in Ben Tre was a resounding success and a fun day well spent for our TRGers.
We not only contributed to environmental conservation but also enjoyed quality time together. This experience served as a reminder of the importance of work-life balance and the value of team building. It was an opportunity for us to recharge, reconnect, and strengthen our relationships outside the office environment.
At TRG International, we will continue to embrace CSR activities that drive positive change and inspire others to join us on this journey towards a greener and more sustainable future.
