Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) announced planting more than 12,000 trees from 2021 in the Kingdom, boosting Bahrain’s efforts to double tree coverage by 2035.
As part and marking Bahrain’s National Environment Day, celebrated annually on 04 February, on Monday, Alba’s CEO, Ali Al Baqali, joined the CEO of Nasser Vocational Training Centre, Dr Abdulla bin Naser Al Noaimi, to plant saplings along roads surrounding NVTC in the Jaw area.
Alba’s CEO Ali Al Baqali said: “Planting trees is one of the ways we support Bahrain’s National Afforestation Plan and nation-wide campaigns such as ‘Forever Green’ as well as meet United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 – Climate Action, which encourages everyone to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.”
Dr Al Noaimi added: “We commend Alba’s leadership in taking the lead in socially responsible initiatives and increasing Bahrain’s green cover, including afforestation of the area surrounding NVTC.”
In addition, Alba recently commissioned a ‘Food Waste Composter’ to treat around 125 Kg per day of food waste and produce nutrients-rich compost within 24 hours to address SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production.
