Syngenta Vietnam: 11 years of accompanying environmental protection, spreading green lifestyle

This is an activity within the framework of the Tree Planting Launch Ceremony and the Program "Clean Environment - Green Life" in Phong Dien District (Can Tho), Long Phu District (Soc Trang), organized by Syngenta Vietnam in coordination with the Department of Agriculture and Environment (DARD) of Can Tho City and the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Soc Trang Province.

11 years of persistently spreading green lifestyle

Launched in 2015, the program "Clean Environment - Green Life" by Syngenta Vietnam in coordination with other organizations spreads green lifestyles and raises public awareness of environmental protection.

In 2025, in coordination with local authorities, Syngenta Vietnam organized the collection of used pesticide packaging regardless of brand at six locations in Can Tho City and Soc Trang Province. Many people collected and brought it to the exchange points to receive practical gifts. After collection, the packaging was processed according to a safe process, by a professional unit, in compliance with the standards of the global Syngenta Group.

The collected pesticide packaging was converted into trees, helping to improve the rural landscape. In Can Tho City, on June 6, after collecting 6.3 tons of pesticide packaging, Syngenta Vietnam donated 650 Lagerstroemia trees and 500 Pink Butterfly trees to plant on the main roads of Phong Dien town, Phong Dien district. In Soc Trang , 350 black star trees and 350 Lagerstroemia trees were converted and planted on the rural roads of Tan Hung commune, Long Phu district after collecting 1.9 tons of pesticide packaging.

The program also focuses on raising awareness of farmers on the safe, effective and responsible use of pesticides. Syngenta Vietnam organizes training courses to help farmers grasp the principles of “4 rights”, “5 golden rules” in pesticide use, standard labor protection, methods of collecting, classifying and destroying pesticide packaging after use. Thereby helping farmers gain knowledge, contributing to changing awareness of environmental protection responsibilities, improving the effectiveness of pest management, ensuring the health of themselves, their families and the community.

After more than a decade of implementation, the results achieved are not only in the number of collected trees or the number of newly planted trees, but also in the change in awareness and actions of the community.

From this program, Mr. Luu Van Dinh, Thanh Phu commune, Co Do district, Can Tho formed the habit of collecting packaging immediately after use, not only protecting the environment, protecting his family's health, but also being able to exchange gifts. "I also often remind people around me to follow the program's instructions," he said.
