Greening
initiative
The establishment of
well-managed forest plantations of the
Group aims to support the Government’s
reforestation program that ensures
continuous replenishment of the wood
resources as well as conserves biodiversity
and protects the environment.
Rapid growing forest
plantation requires shorter rotation period
and thus produce more rapidly than natural
forest to adequately meet the wood demand
on a sustainable basis and regenerate the
habitat for fora and fauna.
We are well aware of the
dire consequences of global warming and
therefore, preserving the
environment has always been our top
agenda.
By regenerating forests
through reforestation,
we hope to contribute towards reducing the
effect of global warming as forests absorb
noticeable amounts of carbon dioxide which
is one of the greenhouse gases that
increases the temperature around the
globe.
Ongoing forest
plantation project of the Group is being
carried out in Kapit, Sarawak and we are
developing a total area of over 236,000
ha.
