𝗣𝗜𝗟 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗲 🌱💡 With sustainability at the core of PIL’s business, we are committed to taking concrete action to drive a greener future. Let’s see how our teams around the world have put on their Future-Focused lens to groom more green fingers and cultivate a green mindset among our colleagues! 👨🌾👩🌾 At the UAE, the team collaborated with the Dubai Municipality to organise a workshop on indoor gardening for our local colleagues. At this informative session, our PIL UAE colleagues learnt more about the different types of indoor plants and their associated health benefits, as well as how to grow them successfully and healthily, so that they can do so in their own homes! 🧒🌲 Driving the green initiative one step further, our colleagues from Guangzhou, China brought along their kids for a tree-planting activity on 1 June. This day is also Children’s Day in China, making it all the more meaningful to instill awareness among the young ones on this special occasion regarding the importance of environmental protection. 🙋♀️🌳 Over in Jordan, the team also contributed towards creating a greener environment by planting trees at a local forest. Our Jordanian colleagues planted a total of 30 trees within a day’s work, which is reflective of PIL’s commitment in driving environmental sustainability where we operate. 💕🌐 At PIL, we are heartened to see how our teams around the world are also aligned with our Future-Focused value with their green initiatives.

Li Fuqiang, the Master of Kota Kamil, immediately directed our ship off its original course to the location of the distressed fishing boat, where our crew found two fishermen who were severely ill. Working closely with the local authorities, the Kota Kamil crew quickly assisted with the emergency evacuation of these two fishermen and brought them to a Sri Lankan naval vessel 140nm away where they received medical attention. Kota Kamil has since resumed its voyage to Singapore. 👏👍 Kudos to Capt. Li and the entire crew of Kota Kamil for providing prompt assistance to the distressed fishermen! Your admirable act is testament to PIL's 'People-Centric' value, in which we spare no effort in ensuring the safety of life at sea!
