It is necessary to join forces among all of us and act now to save our planet,” emphasizes Jaime de Jara\u00edz, President and CEO of LG Iberia. “We felt from the first moment the push and enthusiasm of the Ibercaja Foundation for this project and, thanks to them and the support of more and more entities every day, we are closer to our goal of planting 47 million trees in Spain each year, one per inhabitant.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Juan Carlos Sesma, CEO and Co-founder of CO2 Revolution, “going hand in hand with LG and Ibercaja in this new action highlights the great environmental awareness and commitment of both companies to continue growing in an ambitious project in favor of the recovery of Spanish forests. Investing in trees means investing in the future in every sense. They are business examples of a true ecological transition towards a sustainable development model.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n This initiative is part of the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals into the actions of both companies, with the aim of achieving a future that allows for development, environment, and better quality of life for us and for our children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ibercaja Foundation and LG Spain signed an adhesion pact this morning at the Cogullada Monastery in Zaragoza<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7903,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[59],"class_list":["post-8685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias-en","tag-environmental-sustainability"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nZaragoza, 23 de octubre de 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
