The Forest
Impresa Pizzarotti & C. S.p.A. has been present in Cameroon since 2017 for an important social housing project located at the gates of Yaoundé. This project is the first one in the field of urbanization and social housing and aims to respond to the severe housing deficit and at the same time constitutes an industrialization intervention, to create an industrial base for on-site production of prefabricated buildings and building materials.Besides this infrastructural intervention, the company also intends to contribute to a sustainable development. "Growing Together, Social Housing and Cocoa Forest" is the first virtual business forest composed of 290 cocoa trees that will actually be planted as part of the agroforestry initiatives already underway in the country.Both projects represent an important legacy for future generations with the hope that they can became solid roots such as the history of the company.
Impact
The trees we plant have big ambitions: to bring benefits not only to the environment, but also to the people who live in it. That's why we work with NGOs and local communities to select the right tree for the right place and the right purpose. That’s why we think about the medium and long term, because we’re not content with simply planting trees: we want to see them grow.
The trees in the forest will absorb:
15.95 t* of CO₂
