Staff at Fiji Ports Terminal Ltd (FPTL) recently participated in a coastal clean-up at Lomolomo beach as part of International Coastal Clean-up Day. This event reinforces FPTL’s commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability, supporting coastal ecosystems and climate change mitigation efforts. A total of 48 staff members joined the initiative, which is the latest in a series of impactful environmental projects undertaken by the company.
Earlier this month, FPTL made significant strides in environmental action by planting 10,000 mangroves at My Suva Park, complementing a previous planting of another 10,000 mangroves in Nananu Village. These efforts have helped contribute to a cumulative total of 20,000 mangroves, underscoring the company’s dedication towards long-term ecological and sustainable practices.
FPTL Human Resources Officer Nirshad Akim emphasized that these initiatives go beyond corporate responsibility, aligning with the company’s mission to preserve the natural beauty of Fiji’s coastlines. He encouraged the public to take part in environmental preservation, noting that small collective actions can ensure the beaches remain pristine for future generations.
Across Fiji, various organizations have participated in similar clean-up endeavors, including notable contributions from the iTaukei Land Trust Board, Fijian Holdings Ltd, and community groups. Each effort reflects a strong commitment to environmental stewardship, fostering community pride and responsibility.
These initiatives not only offer immediate benefits in tidying up the environment but also raise awareness about the importance of long-term sustainability. Through collaborative action, Fijian communities continue to show hopeful momentum towards maintaining cleaner, healthier, and more resilient natural landscapes.
