The State Electric Company Limited (STELCO) has commenced a series of tree-planting initiatives across the islands where they operate, aligning with a broader national effort to boost environmental sustainability.
STELCO Managing Director Hussain Fahmy stated that the campaign supports President Dr Mohamed Muizzu’s pledge to plant five million trees across the Maldives, a programme which began in June last year. Fahmy confirmed that STELCO has committed to planting 500,000 saplings as part of this national goal.
