As part of Deloitte's Impact Day, Deloitte Azerbaijan together with "Birgə və Sağlam" Public Union for autism has contributed to the greening of Baku's landscape.
The tree planting campaign was joined and supported by Deloitte employees, autistic children from "Birgə və Sağlam" Public Union and the staff from Greening and Landscape Arrangement OJSC, which is a part of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
