Environmental Responsibility

Biodiversity

Our Approach

Biodiversity is the sustenance of life that includes the diversity of species, populations, and ecosystems. Alterations in land use, and industrialisation have adversely affected biodiversity.

As a responsible agro-based enterprise, QL acknowledges the profound impact of these issues on balance of ecosystem. Therefore, we are dedicated to revitalising this balance through biodiversity regeneration and enhancement.

Mangrove Conservation Programme

As part of our commitment to climate change mitigation, QL actively engages with state governments and international organizations to reduce biodiversity loss through our mangrove planting programmes.

Since 2015, QL Aquamarine Sdn Bhd collaborated with the Sabah State Forestry Department to launch a mangrove planting initiative in Kudat, successfully planting more than 10,300 saplings over the years. This effort continues to evolve, contributing to coastal protection and the restoration of vital ecosystems.

In partnership with Selangor State Forestry Department and Wetlands International for the third consecutive year, QL carried out a mangrove reforestation and rehabilitation activity at Banjar Utara Forest Reserve, Tanjung Karang, on 14 October 2023. A total of 122 participants were involved in the planting activity, consisting of 92 employees and family members, along with 15 representatives from the forestry department and 15 volunteers. In total, 2,000 mangrove seedlings were planted. Notably, the survival rate of these seedlings reached an impressive 95% after seven months.
