Paul Gitau, the team successfully planted 2,000 mangrove trees across 2.5 acres, marking a significant contribution to environmental conservation. The activity brought together partners such as Associated Motors Mombasa, Ryce EA Mombasa, the Kenya Forest Service in Coast Region, and the local community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight employees from the UD Mombasa office dedicated eight volunteer hours each, highlighting Isuzu EA\u2019s commitment to employee engagement and environmental stewardship.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project builds on last year\u2019s efforts and reinforces Isuzu EA Foundation\u2019s environmental pillar by promoting sustainable practices and fostering meaningful partnerships for lasting impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This initiative aligns with SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
