Staff members of Fiji Ports Terminal Limited (FPTL) actively participated in the International Coastal Clean-up Day by working on Lomolomo beach to help preserve Fiji’s natural coastal landscapes. Engaging 48 committed staff members in this endeavor, FPTL continues to embody its mission of environmental responsibility and sustainability. This initiative is part of a broader campaign by FPTL, which recently included significant efforts in mangrove planting, having successfully planted 10,000 mangroves at My Suva Park and contributing a cumulative 20,000 mangroves to the village of Nananu. This long-term commitment is aimed at strengthening coastal ecosystems and promoting environmental resilience in Fiji.
FPTL’s Human Resources officer, Nirshad Akim, highlighted that these actions are more than corporate mandates—they reflect a dedication to safeguarding Fiji’s natural heritage. Akim calls on the wider public to similarly engage in environmental stewardship, noting that collective small actions are paramount in maintaining clean and vibrant beaches for the future. The clean-up initiative, along with previous actions, represents a meaningful step towards combating the adverse effects of climate change and environmental degradation.
Across Fiji, community organizations and companies are steadily aligning towards a shared goal of environmental enhancement and public engagement. Similar initiatives by different entities, such as Fijian Holdings Ltd and the iTaukei Land Trust Board, emphasize teamwork and environmental awareness, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility across various levels of society in Fiji. These collective efforts not only contribute to cleaner surroundings but also nurture a sense of civic pride and shared accountability, paving the way for healthier, more sustainable communities. The overarching trend of increased participation in environmental activities signifies hope for a more sustainable and pristine future for Fiji’s precious coastlines and natural landscapes.
