Global apparel giant UNIQLO reinforces its commitment to environmental responsibility with a significant donation to Malaysia’s Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM). The RM200,000 contribution, funded in part by proceeds from UNIQLO’s paper shopping bag sales, will directly support FRIM’s vital forest conservation programs.
This initiative highlights UNIQLO’s dedication to sustainability while encouraging customers to make eco-conscious choices.
The collaboration between UNIQLO and FRIM will encompass various projects:
- Tree inventory and mapping: This initiative will assess the health and composition of local forests, aiding conservation efforts.
- Monitoring and maintenance: Resources will be directed towards replenishing natural tree loss with high-quality timber species.
- UNIQLO Awareness Program: This program aims to raise public awareness about the importance of forest protection.
UNIQLO’s commitment to environmental responsibility extends beyond this recent donation. The company utilises responsibly sourced, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified paper bags and encourages customers to bring reusable bags when shopping. Additionally, previous contributions to local forest parks demonstrate UNIQLO’s ongoing efforts to preserve green spaces.
UNIQLO’s collaboration with FRIM serves as a commendable example of corporate responsibility. By supporting forest conservation and environmental protection initiatives, UNIQLO paves the way for a more sustainable future.
