24 September 2020 - Sustainability - Colombia

Through an environmental offset and reforestation programme led by Via 40 Express (VINCI Highways/VINCI Concessions) with Colombia’s National Infrastructure Agency (ANI), more than 3,388 trees have been planted since last year in the municipalities of Soacha and Sibaté, south of Bogotá.

These include 1,142 oaks, black cedars and several varieties of fruit trees in a 2-hectare offset plot, and more than 2,246 trees planted under an environmental rehabilitation initiative. Furthermore, 550 school children in the municipalities skirting the Bogotá–Girardot motorway have taken the online classes on environmental topics that Via 40 Express set up in June 2020.
