''Tanmiah'' Embarks on One Million Tree Initiative

In line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 in achieving self-sufficiency and responsible sustainable production, ''Tanmiah'' Saudi Food Company, listed in Saudi Stocks Market, sought to be proactive in aligning its strategy with the goals of the Kingdom’s vision.

Accordingly, the One Million Tree Initiative was launched in Shaqra Governorate in March 2019 and nearly 200,000 trees have already been planted in the first phase, in line with the company’s goal to plant one million trees by 2025.

The impact will include the elimination of 1.2B KGs of Carbon dioxide (CO2); 10B liters of waste water and 1B KGs of solid waste recycled.

In the second phase, the company seeks tree plantation and enhancing the quality of life in the region. To achieve this goal, treated water from poultry waste and treated bio-organic manure will be used to plant and irrigate trees.

This comes as part of the company's objective to create an innovative and a sustainable circular approach to achieve zero-net emissions, which the Kingdom and other countries strive for.

China aims to increase its gold resources by 5 to 10% and its gold and silver output by more than 5% by 2027, the industry ministry said on Monday in an implementation plan for 2025 to 2027.

Gold is a strategic mineral resource and is "of great importance for maintaining national industrial security and financial security," the ministry said.

According to the plan, China will step up efforts in geological exploration and locating new gold resources, and tackle key technological and equipment issues associated with gold mining in the country, Reuters reported.

China will promote gold and silver recycling from a range of waste products including electrical and electronic components, the plan said.

The plan also called for deepening overseas investment cooperation, encouraging Chinese firms to sign long-term supply agreements with foreign mining companies to expand sources of primary mineral products including gold ore.
