JAKARTA [JANUARY 11, 2024] – Akulaku Group, a leading banking and digital finance platform in Southeast Asia, is committed to making a positive impact on society by planting tree saplings in the Ujung Menteng Urban Forest in East Jakarta.
Akulaku Group collaborates with LindungiHutan in carrying out this Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative as a company commitment to enhance awareness and contribute to climate change mitigation efforts.
Fan Zhang, Chief Financial Officer of Akulaku Group, believes that collaboration and cross-sector participation are key to preserving the environment. Akulaku is committed to actively playing a role in taking tangible actions for sustainability.
“Our involvement in this initiative is a manifestation of our commitment to sustainability. We believe that every small step can make a significant impact when taken collectively.
Hopefully, what we do will serve as an inspiration for everyone to actively contribute to collective efforts in preserving our planet for future generations,” he said.
Akulaku Group planted hundreds of tree saplings in the Ujung Menteng Urban Forest, including varieties that adapt easily to various types of soil and have a relatively short growth period. Some tree varieties planted include balsa, eucalyptus, acacia, and rain tree.
This initiative is expected to go beyond supporting environmental sustainability and also encourage collective efforts to achieve Net Zero Emission goals in various regions.
