The CMA CGM Group Is Committed to Sustainable Development as Well as Environmental Preservation for Reforestation and Tree Planting in Brazil

As a global leader in transportation and logistics, the CMA CGM Group announced this week that it will promote global reforestation. About 110,000 trees will be planted in 12 countries, with the initial goal of regenerating the environment and supporting the development of local communities in terms of nature.

The Development of the CMA CGM Group Project

To start, CMA CGM has decided to plant 7,000 trees of local native species in southeastern Brazil. Partnering with the Associação Nordesta Reflorestamento e Educação, a project has been developed dedicated to the conservation of tropical forests and the improvement of the quality of life for the rural population. The focus of the project is to regenerate the forest ecosystems of the state of Minas Gerais, initially. This global reforestation initiative undoubtedly boosts the balance of environmental, social, and economic benefits.

Benefits

In addition to Brazil, 11 more countries will experience the benefits of this project, including Canada, the United States, Peru, France, Romania, Morocco, India, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, and New Zealand. Among the benefits are: minimizing the impacts of deforestation, planting trees to promote the regeneration of essential soils and ecosystems, and bravely assisting in the preservation of biodiversity.

Some members of the CMA CGM team will have the opportunity to participate in plantings in some of the countries. The task force will be conducted in partnership with PUR PROJET, a partner of the Group.

Established in Brazil since 2003, the CMA CGM Group employs over 660 staff, in addition to connecting the country to the world through 11 types of services provided each week.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The battery that uses the cold night sky to generate electricity: scientists create a device that transforms heat escaping from the Earth into energy, even without sun, wind, or combustion.

James Webb finds a starless world with a rotation of only 2.4 hours, giant clouds of superheated sand, and auroras that heat the atmosphere to over 1,500 °C; a wandering object 20 light-years from Earth challenges even the definition of what a planet is.

Study reveals that El Niño is gaining strength in the Pacific, favoring the soybean crop in the United States in 2026 and increasing the risk of losses in Brazil due to excessive rainfall in the South and drought in the Midwest, a scenario that could affect global prices and agricultural exports.

The atmosphere of Venus is so dense that it managed to reverse the entire rotation of the planet over billions of years, a study published in Nature Astronomy reveals that being on the surface would be like sinking into an ocean of 475 degrees Celsius.

Government announces more than R$ 7 billion in investments in Amazonas on a single Wednesday, the package includes a controversial highway, energy for 75,000 people in communities, new ports, and the largest order in the Brazilian naval industry in a year.
