Making a Sustainable Impact: Tronox Teams Plant Thousands of Trees in Australia – Tronox

We’re thrilled to share the success of our recent tree-planting initiatives in Australia. In May, our Southern Operations colleagues joined forces with various organizations, including the Busselton-Dunsborough Environment Centre, to plant over 1,000 native seedlings near our Wonnerup Mine. Together, we built protective fencing to ensure the saplings’ growth.

Continuing our commitment to environmental stewardship, on June 17, a dedicated crew of 70 employees and their families, including visitors from the U.S., gathered at our Northern Operations. Over the course of the day, we planted a remarkable 8,500 seedlings along the Yalyal Brook, significantly contributing to the restoration efforts. We partnered with the Chittering Landcare Center for the 22nd consecutive year, resulting in an incredible 170,000 trees planted thus far.

The significance of these events extends beyond their numbers. By planting trees densely, we are fostering a high-density vegetated cover that filters nutrients and reduces pollution in the waterways, ultimately benefiting the Swan River and Guildford Waters. We take great pride in collaborating with organizations like Chittering Landcare to safeguard our environment and engage with our host communities.

At Tronox, sustainability lies at the core of our global strategy. Events like these play a vital role in paving the way for a sustainable future. Trees are true superheroes—cleaning our air, filtering our water, providing a habitat for terrestrial biodiversity, absorbing harmful carbon, and even serving as vital ingredients in medicines. Additionally, forests offer employment to over 1.6 billion people worldwide.

We express our deepest gratitude to all who joined us, whether it was their first time or another year of dedication. The support provided strengthens our community and helps preserve our environment. Together, we are making a positive impact and creating a greener world for generations to come.
