LANXESS and the Green Cycle Competition winning project held first event on sustainability in Porto Feliz

LANXESS held on Thursday, March 31, 2016, their first event on the 5th edition of the Green Cycle Competition winning project, "Educating with Sustainability in the Settlement", held in Porto Feliz. The main objective of the initiative is to raise awareness on city residents about the importance and positive impact on the environment resulting from a simple act of planting a tree.


Children are the main public of the activity, actively participating in planting, accompanied by monitors present. Each seedling receives the name of who planted it, besides the identification of cultivated species.


Acting responsibly and safely, LANXESS contributes increasingly to a more sustainable and secure world for all, looking for socio-environmental solutions that operate heavily in integration.
