Monday, January 11, 2021

Algeria’s national oil and gas company Sonatrach has reaffirmed its support for the annual reforestation and forest protection program, a group statement said on Saturday.

The CEO of Sonatrach, Toufik Hakkar, supervised a reforestation operation in a park in the district of Bourouba in the Daïra of El Harrach, as part of the support for the efforts made for the protection of forest resources.

“Honoring its social responsibility and its commitments as a corporate citizen, the group is pursuing its campaigns aimed at the consecration of an ecological culture and the preservation of the environment, by sponsoring and supporting the annual reforestation and forest protection program,” stated the press release.

The operation was marked by the active participation of the families of Sonatrach workers alongside managers and agents of the Forest Conservation of the wilaya of Algiers and child scouts.

Other reforestation operations are planned across the country in the days and months to come.
