Bangladesh has been plagued by increasingly serious environmental problems such as air and water pollution due to industrialization as well as by global warming issues. In view of these circumstances, NX Bangladesh brought 250 saplings to Jantrail Government Primary School No. 127 in Nawabgani Upazila, Dhaka District, as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. Four NX Bangladesh employees and 215 students and teachers participated in this activity and planted 40 saplings in the schoolyard, with the remaining 210 saplings distributed to the students to be planted at their own homes. The hopes underlying this initiative were that students would become more aware of the importance of environmental protection and that the trees planted would help protect the local ecosystem and improve the environment. Going forward, NX Bangladesh will be pursuing other such CSR activities for the betterment of the people of Bangladesh.
The NX Group will continue fulfilling its social development responsibilities by connecting people, companies, and communities, and actively engaging in global environmental conservation activities to achieve sustainable societies.
