AGS - Planète Urgence

Reforestation Initiative

For every international removals operation with a volume of more than 10 m³, AGS plants a tree in Mali or in Indonesia.

This reforestation initiative is in line with AGS’ new social and environmental commitments. The objective is to reduce our carbon footprint, which is initiated by our activities.

By choosing AGS for your moves, you are acting in favour of the environment by contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Together we can save our planet. So let us unite in an effort to preserve the environment. We acknowledge our role in the environment by ensuring that the impact of our activities is controlled.

Who is Planète Urgence?

Created in 2000, Planète Urgence is an association for international unity in the development and protection of the environment. It coordinates campaigns on five continents through its spheres of activity, namely Environnement et Développement and Congé Solidaire. Its objective is to wrestle against the ruin of the planet and the inequalities of the North and South. Since 2006, Planète Urgence has been running 2 programmes, via its Environnement et Développement, on reforestation and the reinforcement of agro-silvicultural measures within local communities in Mali and Indonesia.

Agro-silvicultural development in Mali: Planète Urgence’s global project entailed the planting of 450 000 trees in the Mopti region. The harvesting of fruit, market gardens and fodder production have been put in place to combat desertification and to promote local economic development.
Restoration of the mangrove swamp in Indonesia: Planète Urgence’s global project consisted of the planting of 1 840 000 trees in the North Sumatra region. The mangrove corridor was reconstructed to act against global warming and to protect biodiversity.

AGS’ Objective:

Climatic change is one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. Every year, 9 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees, but millions of trees are destroyed annually. For this reason, AGS has chosen to compensate for the impact of its business activities (packing materials and carbon dioxide emissions) on the environment.

For every international removals operation with a volume of more than 10 m3, AGS will plant a tree, and a Tree Certificate will be emailed to every expatriate at the conclusion of his/her move operation.

Confirm Your Involvement in Environmental Initiatives:

At the end of each year, each one of AGS’ corporate clients will be issued with a certificate accounting for all the trees planted on behalf of their expatriates. These certificates can then be incorporated into the company’s report on sustainable development, and will confirm the company’s involvement in the management of its carbon footprint.
