November 1, 2010 Monday
The event was arranged with the help of the Synopsys Community
Volunteer Program and was sponsored by the Synopsys for Armenia
Charitable Foundation. The Armenia Tree Project Charitable Foundation
(ATP) supported the event by providing young trees and bushes from
its Karin and Khachpar nurseries. ATP also prepared the planting
plots and will monitor the planted trees as they grow.
Among those taking an active part in the planting were: Synopsys
President and Chief Operating Officer Chi-Foon Chan, Synopsys VP
of Corporate Marketing and Strategic Alliances and Synopsys Armenia
CEO Rich Goldman, Synopsys Armenia Director Hovik Musayelyan, Deputy
Director Andrew Hovhannisyan, ATP Executive Director Jeff Masarjian,
ATP Yerevan Director Mher Sadoyan, ATP Associate Director Areg
Maghakian, ATP Forestry Director Zachary Parisa and ATP community
tree planting staff.
Since Synopsys Armenia was first established in November 2004, the
company has made a significant investment towards the research and
development of technology products in Armenia, as well as toward
its new site in Yerevan. The company strives to be a good corporate
citizen and continuously contributes to the progress of Armenian
society by helping to improve the country's educational system,
and by implementing other assistance programs through its Armenia-based
Synopsys for Armenia Charitable Foundation.
"Community involvement is a core value for Synopsys," said
Chi-Foon Chan. "As a good corporate citizen, Synopsys Armenia
feels responsibility to take care of the environment in Armenia.
Community involvement also directly benefits Synopsys because this
is where our employees and families live."
"Synopsys is demonstrating a real commitment to corporate social
responsibility by helping to create a green and thriving environment
in Armenia. I hope other corporations and the Armenian public will
be inspired to follow their lead and ensure a sustainable future for
coming generations," said Jeff Masarjian, ATP executive director.
"Our annual tree planting is one of my favorite events because I
know how much it means to the city of Yerevan," said Rich Goldman,
vice president of corporate marketing and strategic alliances at
Synopsys, and CEO of Synopsys Armenia. "This year we were able
to plant 50 percent more trees than we have in previous years due
to the contributions of our new employees from Virage Logic. They
also understand the importance of community involvement and were
instrumental in helping us increase the positive impact of this
special event."
"The annual volunteer tree planting event has become a
well-received tradition and a way for Synopsys' community
volunteers to help combat the environmental impact of the mass
deforestation that occurred in Armenia during wartime from 1991
to1994," said Synopsys' Deputy Director Andrew Hovhannisyan.
"I am proud that this initiative speaks to the minds and hearts
of our engineers and their families who understand the importance of
planting trees for the environment. I also would like to thank the
Armenia Tree Project for being a great partner to Synopsys through
the years. I look forward to more joint tree planting projects in
the future."
"At the Synopsys Armenia Educational Department I not only
attained professional knowledge, I learned the importance of corporate
citizenship," said Ruzanna Chakhmakhchyan, a previous SAED
student and now a Synopsys Armenia employee. "Starting in 2008,
I have participated every year in the Synopsys tree planting with
great pleasure and consider them to be a very important activity in
my life. As a student I was hired by Virage Logic and it was only
a short time before I joined Synopsys Armenia. Synopsys Armenia is
like a big family that not only takes care of each other, but of the
surrounding community and environment."
Synopsys consistently promotes the importance of corporate social
responsibility. Planting trees has become an annual tradition for
Synopsys Armenia, with employees planting more than 400 trees each
year. This year marks the sixth Synopsys tree planting event in
Yerevan. Synopsys planted trees in Viasphere Technopark in 2005,
Victory Park in 2006, Tsitsernakaberd Park in 2007, on a hillside
of Nor Nork district of Yerevan in 2008, and in the central park of
Yerevan's Malatia-Sebastia district (near the recently built
Holy Trinity Church) in 2009. During these years, a total of more than
2,000 trees have been planted. Employees view tree planting as a key
contribution towards reducing air pollution in Yerevan and renewing
its green segment.
