planting trees, improving landscapes

We have supported reforestation projects around the world for many years. Between 2004 and 2006, for example, we helped a project in Großenhain, Germany, to plant 61,000 trees. And by the year end 2007 our total of new trees planted in Germany topped 800.000.

To mark the opening of a new unit at our Rotterdam Refinery in The Netherlands, we made a grant to the “Association for Nature and Landscape” in nearby Spijkenisse, to support plantation and environmental work.

And, around our refinery at Slagen in Norway, we have opened the “Esso Forest”: a wooded recreational area for the use of local residents. We have supported reforestation projects around the world for many years.
