Alba to plant palm trees around smelter
MANAMA, August 4, 2015
Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), a leading aluminium smelter in the world, has initiated a tree planting campaign as part of its commitment to promote sustainability, and maintain a green and clean environment within the smelter.
The campaign was kicked-off last week by the company's management team and labour union representatives, according to a statement by the company.
It will involve the cultivation of 100 tissue culture palm trees by Alba employees around the smelter over the next few months.
Isa Al Ansari, Alba's COO, said: "We believe that such activities are important in educating employees about environmentally friendly initiatives, as well as in preserving and protecting the environment to benefit future generations.” - TradeArabia News Service
