Event Summary

Advans Ghana Savings and Loans, a licensed savings and loans company in Ghana and part of the Advance Publications, planted 1,600 Acacia, Teak, and Shea seedlings at the Chipa and Kogni Forest Reserves in the Greater Accra and Northern Regions.

CEO Guillaume Valence reaffirmed the institution's commitment to sustainable banking. The company reported an 80% survival rate from previous plantings over seven years and reduced paper consumption by over 75% in 2025, from about 1,800 reams to 445 reams. The 1,600 trees are equivalent to over 26,500 reams of paper, nearly 60 times annual consumption.
