Environment
Tomorrow is Greener
At JK Paper, we are deeply indebted to Mother Nature for her generosity and staunchly committed to development in harmony with the environment. As of now, we have over 65,000 hectares of land under forestry project.
A multi pronged strategy for greening wasteland is already bearing fruit. This includes various activities like “Vanmahotsava”, farmer meets, exhibitions, media campaigns, NGO interactions and even involvement of school children at schools run by the company.
The Emission Reduction Purchase Agreement (ERPA) signed by us with the Bio Carbon Fund of the World Bank is facilitating sale of emission reductions under a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project involving development of plantations. This becomes an additional income avenue for participating farmers, besides reducing harmful green house gases and global warming.
