| Nippon Gases Italia S.r.l. has commenced a green initiative, committing to plant trees every year for five years through its partnership with Treedom, the world’s first platform that facilitates remote tree planting and online tracking. The trees planted by Nippon Gases absorb CO2, improve air quality, reduce temperatures, and, by providing refuge and nourishment to a variety of species, enhance biodiversity. They also combat soil erosion through their roots. By planting the right tree in the right place for the right purpose, this initiative contributes to the achievement of Goal 10 of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. |

| We have created a second Nippon Gases Forest in Vieira de Leiria, where we planted approximately 1,000 species of trees native to the region. This initiative not only offsets several tons of CO2 emissions, but also contributes to the reforestation of land that was destroyed by fires, the enhancement of biodiversity for both flora and fauna species, and the revitalization of the region. Nippon Gases Euro-Holding guarantees the continual development of this forest over the next few years and will replant any trees that die or do not grow sufficiently. |
