In 2007 to 2008, we organised several events and initiatives to raise the environmental consciousness of our staff. We believe this helps them to understand the importance of protecting our environment so that they see purpose and meaning in the mitigation measures the company has put in place to minimise our impact on the environment. We see ourselves playing an important role in educating our employees who in turn will become environmental advocates to their families and the community they live in.
