With the message "Touching the Vam Co River - Sowing seeds of connection," the activity not only contributes to greening the living space but also demonstrates Aeon's commitment to accompanying the development of Tay Ninh. Accordingly, nearly 1,200 trees of 21 different species, carefully selected to suit the local soil, were planted around the shopping center, marking the beginning of the company's long-term commitment to the area.

Furthermore, Aeon Tan An is on track to achieve Gold Lotus certification under the Lotus Green Building Rating System, recognized by the Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC). This will be the first shopping center in the Mekong Delta region to achieve this certification - a testament to the company's continuous efforts in working with the community for a green and sustainable future. The building meets criteria for efficient resource and energy use, ensures the quality of the indoor living space, and minimizes environmental impact.
"Aeon Tan An aims to become an indispensable destination, bringing new vitality to the commercial and community development of Tan An City and Tay Ninh Province," said Tezuka Daisuke, Member of the Board, Chief Representative and General Director of Aeon Vietnam, at the ceremony.

A representative of Aeon Vietnam said that tree planting is one of the actions that clearly demonstrates the group's basic philosophy. This is the pursuit of peace, respect for people, and contribution to the community, always placing customers as the core value.
The tree planting ceremony is part of the "Aeon Hometown Forest" program - an initiative launched in 1991 and now one of the group's signature environmental activities. Specifically, whenever a new business location opens, the company organizes tree planting on the premises, with the participation of local residents.
As a traditional activity, this event is always held with the participation of the community and customers in each locality, so that each tree is a symbol of Aeon's strong commitment to nature and the people here. As of February of this year, the total number of trees planted by the group globally has reached over 12.7 million, including over 113,000 in Vietnam.
