The initiative aims to promote environmental protection and inspire consumers to play an active role in preserving the earth. Consumers can participate in the program by purchasing products of P&G brands at any GO!, Big C and Tops market.

From April 13-26, when shopping for P&G products with a total value of VND399,000 ($17) per trip at participating supermarkets, consumers contribute one tree to the project.

Participants will also receive a VND20,000-50,000 voucher for each bill as a token of appreciation.

“The Forest for Good program has been an integral part of P&Gs Force for Good efforts to drive Nature Conservation across the region. Planting a tree is one of the simplest but most powerful ways in which we can help mankind today and for generations to come,” said Priyamvada Srivastava, Vice President, Country Manager of P&G Vietnam.

“P&G, together with our partners, will now enable Vietnamese consumers to participate in Nature Conservation via tree plantation.”

P&G products are designed to save water and energy, helping consumers save money and reduce environmental footprints. The company has also focused on raising awareness about preserving natural resources.
