Held in collaboration with Free Tree Society, a non-profit environmental organization, the program featured a half day of enriching, hands-on activities including:

  • Planting Workshop: Employees learned about soil mixing, propagation, and transplanting techniques as they successfully transplanted native rainforest seedlings such as Nyatoh, Kerdas, Rambai Istana, and Mahkota Dewa – species that are crucial for forest regeneration and biodiversity support.

This "Plant A Tree" program aimed to deliver tangible environmental and social impact. It contributed to reducing carbon footprints, enhancing air quality, and supporting local biodiversity. At the same time, it created opportunities for employees to engage in meaningful team-building activities that fostered well-being and unity. The program also deepened Kao Malaysia's involvement in community-based environmental efforts through its partnership with Free Tree Society, a local non-profit dedicated to urban reforestation. Ultimately, this initiative further enhanced Kao Malaysia's reputation as a sustainability-driven company with a strong sense of corporate social responsibility.

The event concluded with a sustainably sourced lunch prepared by Free Tree Society, allowing participants to reflect on their contribution to a greener Malaysia.
