Yesterday marked the first phase of Brunei LNG's commitment in its tree planting mission.

Personnel from the Forestry Department also assisted in the tree-planting activity, improving inter-working relations between Brunei LNG and the government sector.

"Caring for the environment is one of Brunei LNG's main priorities. We started the monitoring of the environmental performance in the form of effluent- ground water monitoring and waste management as part of our core operation back in the early days of its operations," said Hajah Zainab.

Brunei LNG is also adopting the implementation of best practice in waste management, where waste oil, empty drums, paper, bulbs as well as industrial batteries are recycled.
