FINE, the market leader in the Middle East’s hygienic paper industry and part of the Nuqul Group, recently planted several trees at its factory in Dubai in support of Emirates Environmental Group’s (EEG) ‘Million Tree’ campaign launched in 2007 under the aegis of United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) ‘The Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign’. The activity is part of a series of initiatives under FINE’s comprehensive corporate social responsibility program (CSR) and reflects the company’s commitment to improving living conditions within the communities it operates in.
Environmental awareness is an integral part of FINE’s corporate values. The company uses only virgin pulp acquired from well-managed forests that implement effective re-forestation programs. It also packs tissues in cardboard boxes made from recycled material. FINE’s tree planting was held to support the environmental vision of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Sheikh Mohammed launched the One Million Tree Campaign in Dubai in 2010 and planted the first tree under the program at the main square of the Dubai Police Academy.
“The welfare of the environment ranks among FINE’s key priorities, and so we are actively involved in programs such as EEG’s ‘One Million Tree Campaign’ that ensure sustainable growth. We believe that now is the right time to act; planting even a single indigenous tree would go a long way towards sparing the atmosphere from harmful gases and countering the effects of modern living. We share in H.H. Sheikh Mohammed’s vision of a healthy, safe and secure environment for Dubai and the rest of the Emirates and will continue to support initiatives that support this end,” said Peter Janho, Chief Area Officer – API Region, FINE Hygienic Paper, FZE.
Since the launch of the campaign four years ago, Emirates Environmental Group has planted more than two million trees all over the UAE. Individuals, corporate organizations and educational institutes have been supporting the EEG initiative as a platform to advance the UN Environment Programme’s global ‘The Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign.’
The collaboration with EEG extends FINE’s long history of support for vital social causes. The company has assisted organizations such as Al Noor Hospital and Rashid Paediatric Centre and just recently signed a strategic partnership with the UAE Red Crescent Society, which is a regular recipient of donations from FINE.
Dubai-based FINE Hygienic Paper FZE is a major manufacturer of facial tissues, toilet paper, baby diapers, wet wipes, refreshing towels, adult briefs, jumbo rolls, kitchen towels and sanitary pads. It has a state-of-the-art manufacturing unit at the Jebel Ali Free employing around 300 highly skilled staff. FINE’s Middle Eastern presence includes operations in Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the UAE. It was the first company in its industry in the region to obtain simultaneous ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification. It was also the first company in the UAE to receive Emirates Quality Mark certification from the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology.
