[UNIQLO, Indonesia Celebrating World Earth Day by Planting Mangrove with Disabled Students] In celebration of World Earth Day, UNIQLO in Indonesia collaborated with Kitaoneus.Asia, a local organization engaged in disability advocacy, conducted mangrove planting and educational sessions on April 25, 2024 in Mangrove Ecotourism Center Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta. The objective of the activity is to encourage disabled students to learn more about mangrove ecosystems and participate directly in preserving the environment by planting 100 mangrove trees. We invited more than 100 disabled students from 5 special needs schools around Jakarta to join the mangrove planting and interactive tour by the Jakarta Provincial Park and Forestry Office. We had a great opportunity to have a quick discussion with the Indonesian Minister of Environment and Forestry, Mrs Siti Nurbaya Bakar, and get her recognition for our contribution to the national government’s target of mangrove restoration. A total of 16 employees are also involved as volunteers in this initiative that highlights UNIQLO’s Planet and Society Pillars of Sustainability. #uniqlo #lifewear #powerofclothing #uniqloindonesia #sustainability #dandi #diversityandinclusion #peoplewithdisability #pwd #employeeengagement #sustainabilityevent #worldearthday #peopleplanetcommunity
