The Convener for the Green Republic Project Nana Yaw Osei-Darkwa was full of praise for the Management of Pernod Ricard for the initiative of contributing 10,000 trees to help improve the general ecosystem and also to aid in National and global efforts in the fight against climate change and global warming as part of their corporate social investment.
