This event was held in conjunction with National Environment Day that falls on the 21 of October every year, aiming to inculcate awareness on the importance of environmental conservation among Malaysians as well as encouraging the act of tree planting.
The event was officiated by YBrs Tuan Haji Zainal bin Eran, District Officer of Pontian and attended by YB Dato' Ir Hasni bin Mohammad, ADUN Benut and YB Senator Dato' Haji Jefridin bin Haji Atan, ADUN Kukupalongside representatives from other companies that had also collaborated with the Pontian District Office for the same purpose.
Malakoff is no stranger to environmental conservation initiatives. In 2013, Malakoff made efforts to plant 8,000 mangrove saplings in Seberang Perai, Pulau Pinang as part of the third phase of the company's Mangrove Rehabilitation Project, which was aimed at restoring the eroding ecosystem in the coastal region. Prior to this, 20,000 saplings were also planted in Mukim Serkat, Johor, adjacent to Malakoff's Tanjung Bin Power Plant, while another 17,000 were planted in Tanjung Piai and Pulau Kukup National Parks.
This collaboration is part of Malakoff's commitment towards environmental conservation, establishing impactful partnerships for the company's Corporate Social Responsibility programmes, providing education and creating awareness on the importance of collective efforts in safeguarding the environment. This also aligns with the UN SDG Goal No. 14 - Life Below Water, which aims to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for future sustainable development.
