Bringing Better Values to Life.
They say, as you sow, so shall your reap.
At JK Paper; we have always believed in an enterprise that benefits humanity at large. The past year saw us add 5800 hectares to our plantation activites, while distribution of clonal plants registered an increase of 80%.
Our initiatives for greening �wastelands� are boosted through various activities like �Vanmahotsava�,farmer meets, exhibitions, media campaigns, NGO interactions, and even involvement of our school children.
Much emphasis is given on demonstration plantations of various agro-forestry models with inter-cropping of medicinal and aromatic plants, as well as cultivation of agricultural crops through treated effluent.
In a unique development, we signed an Emission Reduction Purchase Agreement (ERPA) with Bio Carbon Fund of the World Bank, for sale of emission reductions under a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project involving development of plantations. This will provide additional income to the farmers participating in this project, in the shape of Carbon Credits revenue; besides reducing harmful green house gases and global warming.
In our contribution to our environment, we bring better values to life.
