Toyota Continues To Plant Trees For Environment

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) recently initiated a mangrove tree planting program in Tanjung Tuan, Melaka. This programme was hosted by the Malaysian Nature Society through UMW Green Shoots (UGS) Initiative which implemented during the annual Raptor Watch event 2023.
According to the automaker, the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere contributes to global warming which causes a threat to life on the planet.

UMW Green Shoots Initiative also highlighted this concern while supporting the National 100 Million Trees Planting Campaign plus the three core objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG).
Aside from that, said programme will observe the plantation of mangrove saplings, which is meant to assist the rehabilitation of the mangrove swamp ecosystem in the forest reserve destroyed by an oil spill in 2020.

Furthermore, a total of 6,100 trees will be planted by 250 volunteers, including UMW Toyota staff volunteers, students, and teachers from University Putra Malaysia, Serdang, as well as Politeknik Port Dickson, Taylor's University, and members of the public.
This eco initiative movement seeks to create awareness and ensure the continued conservation of the Tanjung Tuan Forest Reserve. In conjunction with the brand’s commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the mission applies to its products inlcuding every aspect of its business operations globally.

“UMW Toyota Motor is proud to be helping to rehabilitate and preserve the environment through the UMW Green Shoots Initiative.
As a good corporate citizen, we can provide resources to support efforts in addressing climate change and achieving carbon neutrality,” stated Datuk Ravindran K. President of UMW Toyota Motor.
He also remarked that Toyota have been assembling Hybrid Electric Vehicles in Malaysia since 2022 and will announce further plans on the electrification of the Toyota product range.
