In April, we celebrate Earth Day and take action to protect our planet.

 

On April 28, in partnership with ATP, Synopsys Armenia volunteers, together with their family members and friends, dedicated their Sunday to planting two thousand trees in the village of Lernanist, Kotayk region. Synopsys Armenia contributed hundreds of volunteering hours, adhering to their values of corporate social responsibility. 

This tree planting was dedicated to the 20th anniversary of Synopsys Armenia and the 30th anniversary of the Armenia Tree Project. Over 13,000 trees were planted in Yerevan and the regions of Armenia during the 19 years of cooperation between the two organizations. 

"We attach great importance to the development of corporate social responsibility culture in Armenia," says Yervant Zorian, the president of Synopsys Armenia Synopsys Fellow. Such initiatives that are carried out in parallel with engineering, R&D, and educational activities play vital role in increasing Armenia’s resilience.

The director of Synopsys Armenia, Hovik Musayelyan notes, “It is exciting to see our employees planting trees with their families and contributing into seeding volunteering culture and cultivating responsible communities in Armenia.”

“The long-term cooperation with Synopsys Armenia has produced positive results. We have jointly supported tree planting in parks, historical landmarks, and cultural complexes, and in recent years we have also been planting forests together. Today's tree planting symbolizes the anniversaries of our two organizations, which we once again decided to popularize the culture of planting trees in our country," says Ruzanna Arustamyan, director of the "ATP" charitable foundation.

"We love our country and participate in such voluntary activities with great enthusiasm because we want to make Armenia more beautiful, benevolent, and resilient. We are so happy and excited to see how the trees we planted last year have grown and strengthened, laying the foundation for a new forest,” says Karen Melikyan, Synopsys Armenia R&D Sr. Director and nature supporter.

At the end of the tree planting, Nvard Gevorgyan, a trainer of Armenia Tree Project’s environmental education program, conducted an open class on various environmental topics
