JAKARTA - The waters of Tanjung Pakis, Karawang Regency, have experienced severe beach abrasion since 1994 due to the conversion of the coastal area into shrimp ponds and fish that cause degradation and environmental disturbances. In an effort to reduce these problems, PERURI has planted 2,000 mangrove trees in Tanjung Pakis waters on Thursday, October 23.

Through activities collaborating with CarbonEthics, PERURI has shown its commitment as an active agents of change in implementing the Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) program in an effort to protect the environment, including real support for the Sustainable Development Goal (TPB) Number 13 (Thandling Climate Change) and Number 14 (SEA Ecosystem).

This activity includes not only mangrove planting, but also monitoring the growth of trees and empowerment of the surrounding community through conservation education and local economic development based on mangrove plant products.

In addition to functioning as a barrier to abrasion and marine biota life, the mangrove ecosystem also stores large amounts of carbon that play an important role in controlling greenhouse gas emissions. With the planting of 2,000 trees, PERURI contributes to the absorption of hundreds of tons of carbon during the lifetime of these trees.

The mangrove tree has an extraordinary role in absorbing carbon and protecting the coast from abrasion. Through this activity, PERURI not only planted trees, but also planted hope for a sustainable future for the earth," said Yahdi Lil Ihsan, POH Head of the Strategic Corporate Branding & TJSL PERURI.

Through sustainable measures such as mangrove planting, PERURI continues to show its role not only as a money printing company and security documents, but also as a High Security Technology Company that has a high concern for Indonesia's sustainability and environmental resilience.
