STELCO employees are taking the initiative to mark Environment Day by planting trees, the Company's Managing Director Hussain Fahmy has said.

Fahmy said in a post on X on Friday that STELCO is partaking in the programme as part of the five million tree plantation initiative announced by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu at the COP28 Summit.

He added that the initiative will also aid the company to achieve its target of carbon offset.

The Government had earlier said it would work with Pakistan to fulfil the President's pledge at COP28 to plant five million trees in five years.
