On 7 December 2023, TotalEnergies in Lebanon, in collaboration with Cedars for Care NGO, planted 200 Leyland trees covering 72 square meters of the National Park of Beirut, Horsh Beirut. This initiative underscores TotalEnergies’ commitment to both society and the environment, as the company is participating in creating green spaces accessible to all Beirut citizens at the heart of the city.
This plantation project not only further enhances the park's aesthetic appeal but also contributes significantly to improving air quality and promoting biodiversity. Every growing Leyland tree will absorb around 20 to 50 kg of CO2 per year. These trees will also offer a green buffer zone of 120 meters around Horsh Beirut, mitigating the impact of urbanization and protecting the park’s biodiversity.
