GPMS Green-Waves

Greening the Future, One Tree at a Time

In accordance with Pillar 3 (GPMS Green-Waves) of our Corporate Social Responsibility Framework, and in collaboration with the Aburi Botanical Gardens, GPMS participated in a Cinnamon Tree-Planting exercise on Wednesday, 23rd April 2025, at 10:30 a.m.

Rationale for Choosing Cinnamon:
Cinnamon trees (with botanical name, Cinnamomum verum) are valued both economically, as a primary source of a widely used spice, and medicinally, with traditional uses spanning centuries. Additionally, cinnamon trees contribute to environmental health by attracting beneficial insects and wildlife, thus supporting ecosystem diversity.
