KUALA LUMPUR, Nippon Express Bangladesh Ltd (NX Bangladesh), a group company of Nippon Express Holdings Inc, has carried out a tree-planting project at Jantrail Government Primary School in Nawabganj Upazila, Dhaka District, last month. According to a statement, NX Bangladesh brought 250 saplings to the school for the plantation, as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. This was in light of conditions in Bangladesh, where the country has been plagued by increasingly serious environmental problems such as air and water pollution due to industrialisation as well as global warming issues. Four NX Bangladesh employees and 215 students and teachers participated in this activity, and planted 40 saplings in the schoolyard, with the remaining 210 saplings distributed to the students to be planted at their own homes. The hopes underlying this initiative are that students will become more aware of the importance of environmental protection and that the trees planted will help protect the lo cal ecosystem and improve the environment. Going forward, NX Bangladesh will be pursuing other such CSR activities for a better life for the people of Bangladesh. The NX Group will continue fulfilling its social development responsibilities by connecting people, companies and communities, and actively engaging in global environmental conservation activities to achieve sustainable societies.
