​Affirming its ongoing commitment to protecting natural resources and supporting climate action, Orange Jordan organized a tree-planting initiative at the garden of its data center in Ain Al-Basha District, Balqa Governorate. The event took place as part of the 2026 Environment and Climate Month activities, organized by the Ministry of Environment in partnership with the French Embassy in Amman.
​The activity was attended by the Ambassador of France to Jordan, His Excellency Mr. Franck Gellet, and the Chief Executive Officer of Orange Jordan, Eng. Philippe Mansour, alongside members of the executive committee and several company employees.
​The initiative embodies Orange Jordan’s broader vision to advance its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals by actively contributing to national efforts, spreading awareness, and encouraging positive behaviors toward a greener future. Employees participated prominently under the umbrella of the "Engage for Change" initiative—launched by Orange Middle East and Africa to foster a culture of community service and volunteering with a focus on social and environmental causes.
​Remarks on Climate Diplomacy and Sustainability
​His Excellency Ambassador Franck Gellet stated that the initiative arrives at a pivotal moment for international climate diplomacy, coinciding with the global gathering in Antalya for the 31st UN Climate Change Conference (COP31). He noted that the conference serves as a reminder to look beyond pledges and accelerate tangible climate action, adding that implementing the Paris Agreement requires strong international cooperation, greater mobilization of climate finance, innovation, and active private-sector engagement.
​For his part, Orange Jordan CEO Eng. Philippe Mansour highlighted the company's vital role in integrating environmental responsibility across its operations—from expanding renewable energy use and improving energy efficiency to supporting national afforestation efforts. He noted that in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Orange Jordan has contributed to planting approximately 5,500 trees across its three forests, helping expand green spaces and combat desertification. Mansour added that the company remains committed to promoting responsible practices and engaging its workforce in initiatives that build a more sustainable future for the Kingdom.
