Employees of Irkutsk Oil Company (IOC) took part in the 14th annual city campaign "Plant a Tree – Give Life to the Planet." The event was organized by the "Give Life to the Planet" Charitable Foundation.

A total of 1,300 volunteers took part in the eco-campaign, planting 3,000 young pine trees in the Veresovsky Forest in the Leninsky District of Irkutsk.

The uniqueness of the campaign lies in the fact that the seedlings are not purchased from nurseries, but are rescued from under power lines, roadsides, etc., where they are threatened with destruction. The second stage of reforestation is planned for the fall in the area of the village of Bolshoye Goloustnoye.

As part of the "Plant a Tree – Give Life to the Planet" project, more than 200,000 trees have been planted since 2012, with a survival rate of 85%.

IOC traditionally pays great attention to environmental issues, implementing its own environmental projects and supporting public initiatives. In 2024 alone, the company planted more than three million trees on forest fund lands in the Irkutsk Region, Krasnoyarsk Region, and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

In addition to reforestation, IOC regularly monitors the state of the environment in the areas where it operates and organizes fish stocking events in the Irkutsk Region and Yakutia. The company's volunteers actively participate in eco-campaigns and nationwide community clean-up days, and hold themed lessons and competitions for schoolchildren. In 2024, the company developed and implemented a biodiversity conservation program aimed at systematizing and improving the effectiveness of measures to preserve natural ecosystems.
