Fiji Ports Terminal Ltd (FPTL) recently took a significant step in environmental sustainability by organizing a coastal clean-up at Lomolomo Beach during International Coastal Clean-up Day. This initiative highlights FPTL’s dedication to environmental responsibility and its role in supporting coastal ecosystems and combating climate change. A total of 48 staff members participated in this endeavor, which is part of a series of meaningful environmental projects that the company has undertaken.
Earlier in the month, FPTL demonstrated its commitment to ecological preservation by planting 10,000 mangroves at My Suva Park. This effort follows a previous planting of another 10,000 mangroves in Nananu Village, achieving a cumulative total of 20,000 mangroves planted. Such initiatives underline the company’s focus on long-term ecological and sustainable practices aimed at protecting Fiji’s natural beauty.
FPTL’s Human Resources Officer, Nirshad Akim, emphasized that these actions extend beyond corporate responsibility. They align with the company’s mission to preserve the natural landscapes of Fiji’s coastlines. Akim also encouraged public involvement in environmental preservation, highlighting how small collective efforts can maintain the pristine condition of beaches for future generations.
In addition to FPTL, various organizations across Fiji, including the iTaukei Land Trust Board, Fijian Holdings Ltd, and community groups, have also engaged in similar clean-up activities. These collective efforts demonstrate a strong commitment to environmental care and foster a sense of community pride and responsibility.
These initiatives not only provide immediate environmental benefits but also enhance public awareness about the importance of long-term sustainability. Through these collaborative actions, communities in Fiji are making hopeful strides towards sustaining cleaner, healthier, and more resilient natural landscapes.
