Sun Nepal Life Partners with Lumbini World Peace Forum for “One Million Trees Campaign”
17th November 2025, Kathmandu
Sun Nepal Life Insurance Company Limited has taken a prominent position in corporate social responsibility (CSR) by announcing a landmark partnership with the Lumbini World Peace Forum to collaboratively launch the ambitious “One Million Trees Campaign.”
One Million Trees Campaign
This major initiative, formalized through an agreement signed in Kathmandu, signifies a deep, long-term commitment by the life insurance provider to environmental conservation and national well-being, moving beyond its core business of offering financial protection.
The collaboration represents a fusion of corporate resources and peace-focused environmental advocacy. The Lumbini World Peace Forum (LWPF), a non-governmental and non-profit organization, is dedicated to promoting world peace, social justice, sustainable development, and respect for the environment, making it a natural and credible partner for such a large-scale ecological project.
Driving Ecological Balance and Greenery Expansion
The “One Million Trees Campaign” is central to Sun Nepal Life Insurance’s long-term CSR strategy. The campaign’s primary objectives are multifaceted, aimed at delivering significant ecological benefits across the country:
Environmental Conservation: A direct investment in protecting Nepal’s natural resources and biodiversity.
Ecological Balance: Working to restore and maintain the delicate balance of local ecosystems.
Nationwide Greenery Expansion: A large-scale effort to increase the total tree cover across various communities and regions.
The insurance company firmly believes that this collaboration will create a profound and positive impact that will resonate across communities throughout the entire country. The initiative positions Sun Nepal Life Insurance not just as a financial service provider but as a conscientious corporate citizen actively working to improve the quality of life in Nepal.

The Vision for Long-Term Sustainability
The campaign’s goal of planting one million trees is a measurable and powerful commitment towards mitigating the effects of climate change and promoting a healthier planet. According to the company’s vision, the massive plantation effort will support long-term environmental sustainability by focusing on several critical outcomes:
Restoring Greenery: Reversing environmental degradation in various regions by re-establishing healthy forest cover.
Reducing Carbon Emissions: Trees act as vital carbon sinks, and planting a million of them will significantly contribute to lowering the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide, thereby helping to combat global warming.
Regulating Temperature Levels: Increased greenery contributes to a localized cooling effect, helping to regulate temperature levels and offering relief in urban and rural areas increasingly affected by heat.
The initiative is built on an intergenerational responsibility, with the expectation that these efforts will provide future generations with a safer and healthier environment. Furthermore, it supports the broader national and global efforts toward sustainable climate management, aligning Nepal’s corporate sector with international environmental goals and best practices.
Sun Nepal Life’s Reach and Commitment
Sun Nepal Life Insurance’s ability to execute a campaign of this magnitude is supported by its expansive operational footprint across Nepal. The company currently provides its essential life insurance services through a vast network of 148 branch and sub-branch offices nationwide.
This extensive network, which spans across all provinces, will be critical for the effective implementation and monitoring of the “One Million Trees Campaign.” By mobilizing its branch offices, the company can ensure that the tree plantation efforts are localized, relevant to regional ecosystems, and sustained by local community involvement—a key component for the success of any large-scale environmental project. The life insurance sector, by its nature, deals with long-term risks and the future well-being of its policyholders, and this CSR initiative is a metaphorical extension of that core principle: securing a healthy and sustainable future environment is just as vital as securing financial futures.
The partnership with the Lumbini World Peace Forum is a testament to the synergistic potential between corporate entities and dedicated non-profit organizations in driving significant social and environmental change in Nepal.
