BLOGKATAHATIKU - Around the world,
January 10th is known as One Million Trees Day, a day to remind us of the
importance of tree preservation and conservation. Archipelago International,
through its brands in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, showed its support and
concern for the environment and mankind by holding a tree-planting event in the
area.
The
event was held on the morning of Saturday 23rd January in Bendali III,
Balikpapan, joined by the employees of favehotel, NEO, Quest, and Aston and
attended by the Head of Board of the Environment (BLH), Balikpapan City, Mr
Suryanto.
The
tree planting was inaugurated by Mr Suryanto, followed by the staff who planted
50 seeds. Archipelago International also made an agreement with BLH to not only
plant the trees, but also to take care of them step by step and to continuously
ensure the preservation of the trees in the future.
The
program also showcased the individual identities of each of Archipelago's
brands, such as favehotel's Pink Lady and The Neo girl, while the remaining
staff wore shirts with tree figures to spread the word of the campaign.
“Indonesia
is one of the most beautiful and diverse countries on the planet. We hope the generations to come can enjoy the
same beauty we all do today. Its only
through initiatives for conserving forests, animal diversity, water, energy,
clean air and other ecofriendly solutions in all sectors of business which will
help maintain Indonesia's beauty. Every
step counts just like every seed counts,” Said Tenaiya Brookfield, VP Sales and
Marketing of Archipelago International.
