Atome Finance Is Addressing Climate Change By Planting Mangroves On Genteng Kecil Island

Tuesday, 17 Dec 2024

Atome Finance Indonesia ("Atome") is committed to environmental sustainability by implementing a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program that involves planting mangroves on Genteng Kecil Island. This initiative helps mitigate climate change and raises awareness about the importance of protecting coastal ecosystems in response to global climate challenges.

Climate change poses a real threat to the planet, with rising carbon emissions and widespread ecosystem damage. Mangroves are an effective natural solution, capable of absorbing carbon dioxide at rates up to five times greater than tropical forests. They also filter pollutants and provide habitats for various coastal flora and fauna.

By planting 100 mangrove trees on Genteng Kecil Island, Atome contributes to reducing carbon emissions by approximately 3,300 kg CO? per year, while also aiding in the preservation of coastal ecosystems.

This activity not only supports climate change mitigation but also empowers local communities by involving them directly in the planting process and environmental awareness training.

The training offers deep insights into the causes and impacts of climate change, as well as mitigation steps that can be taken, aiming to enhance awareness and encourage collective action for nature conservation. This program also strengthens the relationship between Atome and the local community, creating opportunities for long-term collaboration in sustainability efforts.

Meri Ui, the CEO of Atome, stated, "We believe that environmental preservation efforts must be backed by adequate knowledge. Through this activity, we not only contribute to nature conservation but also strive to raise awareness about the importance of climate change and the actions individuals can take."

We hope that everyone involved can use the knowledge gained to create a greener and more sustainable environment.

This initiative aligns with Atome's commitment to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in addressing climate change. In addition to ecological benefits, this program also has a positive social impact, strengthening the relationship between the company and the local community while opening up opportunities for future collaboration towards sustainability.
