Miri: Sarawak Energy, in collaboration with Sarawak Forestry Corporation, planted 300 native tree seedlings at Piasau Nature Reserve in Miri on Feb 8, reinforcing its long-term commitment to environmental sustainability and biodiversity conservation across Sarawak.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Sarawak Energy stated that this initiative is part of its Tree Planting, Protection and Habitat Restoration Campaign, which aims to plant and protect 500,000 trees by 2030. Approximately 30 Sarawak Energy senior leaders and employees participated in the program, led by Group chief executive officer Datuk Sharbini Suhaili.

Sharbini highlighted that the initiative aligns with Sarawak Energy's commitment to ensuring that renewable energy development proceeds with care for ecosystems and biodiversity. He emphasized the company's responsibility to integrate environmental stewardship into its growth strategy.
