Introduction to Environmental Protection Activities
The Importance of Tree Planting
From ancient times to the present, the relationship between humans and nature has always been closely intertwined and inseparable. When we come into contact with natural elements such as water, plants, flowers, and mountains, our souls often become lighter and more serene, much like finding a peaceful garden amidst the hustle and bustle of life.
Green trees play a very important role in maintaining our existence. In addition, they help prevent erosion, flooding, and landslides. Proper tree planting will contribute to mitigating the impacts of natural disasters. Forest systems not only regulate the climate but also stabilize water flow and prevent damage from wind and sand. Green trees help purify the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and providing oxygen, thereby reducing pollution and limiting the greenhouse effect. They also maintain soil moisture, prevent erosion, and reduce the risk of flooding. Furthermore, green trees bring mental benefits, creating cool, relaxing green spaces for the community and improving mental health. Planting trees is not only an act of environmental protection but also a way to build a sustainable future for future generations.
The consequences of unrestricted deforestation
Our country is currently in a phase of industrialization and modernization, with an ever-increasing number of factories, agencies, enterprises, and production facilities. This has led to the problem of environmental pollution becoming increasingly serious. Human impact and development are causing natural elements to gradually disappear. Climate change, unusual weather, along with various sources of pollution such as contaminated water, waste, dust, and noise are causing many health issues, particularly affecting people’s mental health.
Uncontrolled logging can have serious consequences for the environment and human health. Here are some key impacts:
- Increased air pollution: Trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and release oxygen, helping to clean the air. When there are no trees, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere increases, contributing to global warming and air pollution.
- Degradation of soil quality: Trees help maintain the structure and moisture of the soil, preventing erosion. When trees are cut down, the soil is more prone to erosion, reducing its ability to retain water and nutrients, leading to a decline in soil quality and causing erosion.
- Increased risk of flooding: Trees absorb rainwater and reduce the speed of surface water flow. Without trees, rainwater will flow more quickly into drainage systems and rivers, increasing the risk of flooding.
- Loss of biodiversity: Trees are habitats for many species of flora and fauna. When trees are lost, these species will lose their habitats, leading to a decline in biodiversity and potentially causing an imbalance in the ecosystem.
- Negative impact on mental health: Trees not only create beautiful living spaces but also have a relaxing effect, reducing stress and improving mental health. The loss of greenery can diminish the quality of life and cause feelings of stress and anxiety in people.
- Increased urban heat island effect: Urban areas lacking greenery often experience the heat island effect, where temperatures in city areas are higher than in surrounding rural areas due to the lack of shade and the heat-absorbing capacity of trees.
The Earth is experiencing rising temperatures and an increasing frequency of natural disasters such as storms and floods. To prevent these negative impacts, we need to take immediate action. Let’s actively participate in tree planting activities and encourage others to join in. The government also needs to strengthen efforts to promote the benefits of greenery, encourage tree planting, and protect living environments, while strictly addressing acts of destruction against trees and forests. If each individual participates in at least one small action, such as planting and protecting trees, it will contribute to making our living environment better and more sustainable in the future.
Important activities for developing sustainable businesses
CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a term in the field of business and law that refers to the commitment of economic entities to operate with professional ethics and not violate human conscience. This is how businesses demonstrate their commitment to positively impacting the community and the surrounding environment.
Implementing CSR plays a crucial role in limiting and maintaining compliance with legal standards and social foundations. If a business ensures compliance and fully fulfills its obligations regarding CSR, it will not have to worry about many legal issues. If a business focuses solely on short-term profits while neglecting the core values of society, it will gradually lose customer trust, and its position in the fiercely competitive market will be shaken.
CSR activities in the sustainable development of businesses today are highly prioritized and are gradually becoming a trend. Some businesses implement them quarterly, while others do so annually.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) regarding the environment is an important part of CSR and includes activities aimed at minimizing the negative impacts of business operations on the environment and promoting sustainable development. Among these, tree planting and reforestation are activities that many businesses are currently focusing on.

If businesses commit to fully complying with CSR-related obligations, they will not have to worry about many legal issues.

ESG activities (Environmental, Social, and Governance)
ESG is a management and evaluation standard that businesses apply to determine their impact on the environment, society, and governance. It includes three main factors: Environmental, Social, and Governance. The governance aspect relates to how businesses are managed and operated, emphasizing transparency, accountability, fairness in governance decisions, corruption prevention, and compliance with ethical standards.
The role of ESG in the sustainable development of businesses is to build a business ecosystem capable of meeting not only the current market demands but also the requirements of future generations, ensuring sustainability and long-term development.
Today, customers are increasingly concerned about sustainable and social values. Implementing ESG and CSR helps businesses build a positive image, attracting environmentally and socially conscious customers. At the same time, this also benefits the local community, thereby creating good relationships with the community, making it easier for businesses to operate and develop.
Introduction to Untra Farm
Mission and Vision
Since realizing that the Earth is gradually warming, we have faced the challenge of climate change. The tourism industry is one of the leading sources of pollution, directly affecting livelihoods and environmental issues. Recognizing this, Unique Tourism has initiated the idea and set the goal of the “Three Million Trees Mission” to green the S-shaped country. Although we faced many difficulties in the early stages, we did not give up and have risen to become a leader in the tree-planting tourism sector today. Fortunately, Unique Tourism’s “Three Million Trees Mission” has attracted attention and collaboration from many businesses.
Achieving the goal of planting three million trees is not a simple task. Unique Tourism is striving to call for participation from many individuals, organizations, and large enterprises to join hands for a green environment and a green Earth. Whether an individual or an organization, everyone can contribute a small part to this great goal. According to the carbon market implementation plan, the domestic market will begin piloting in 2025 and officially operate from 2028. Early implementation of this market will bring many benefits to businesses and make significant contributions to forest development and protection.
Untra Farm and Tree-Planting Activities
Tree-planting tourism (Untra Farm) is the main activity throughout the Untra Group, a professional and unique tree-planting tourism initiative in Vietnam established in 2022, currently gathering nearly 20 conservation areas/national parks across Vietnam and more than 5,000 participants, including large Vietnamese enterprises, foreign businesses, community organizations, and factories in industrial zones. We own and connect more than 20 Untra Farm destinations from North to South. Our mission is to green every corner of the S-shaped land.
At Untra Farm, you will explore a unique and exciting tree-planting program. The activities in the program commit to complying with regulations on forest protection and the conservation of rare animals. When visiting a tree-planting destination, you will be provided with information about rare animal and plant species being conserved by a forest ranger or tour guide, and learn about the characteristic tree species allowed to be planted at the destination.
Different destinations will plant different types of trees, depending on the situation and type of soil in the conservation area/national park where you are planting. Through the agreement and management of the state, we always commit to our customers that the planted trees will be cared for and updated daily until they grow and stabilize. In addition, at each tree-planting destination, customers will enjoy local specialties, participate in recreational activities, and discover new things in the conservation area/national park.

The role of tree planting in the CSR – ESG activity chain
Tree planting plays a key role in the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies of sustainable businesses, not only for environmental benefits but also for the social values and long-term benefits it brings. When businesses engage in tree planting activities, they not only meet environmental protection requirements but also demonstrate a deep commitment to sustainable development and social responsibility.
From an environmental perspective, tree planting helps businesses fulfill their commitments to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality. Green trees have the ability to absorb CO2 and pollutants while releasing oxygen, thereby reducing the impact of climate change. This not only helps businesses achieve their emission reduction goals but also strengthens their position as an organization responsible for the environment.
In addition, tree planting projects often have a positive impact on the communities that businesses serve. Green trees create pleasant and green living spaces, enhancing the quality of life for residents and contributing to the development of local communities. Furthermore, these activities provide opportunities for businesses to connect with the community, create jobs, and promote employee engagement, thereby increasing attachment and pride in the workplace.
In the context of ESG, tree planting also contributes to building a positive image and enhancing the reputation of the business. Efforts in environmental protection not only meet regulatory requirements but also demonstrate responsibility and business ethics, increasing trust and support from customers, partners, and investors.
