AirAsia Group in Another #Green24 Action
14th May 2016
Malaysian airline AirAsia has joined another #Green24 action, this time with Project AWARE and Pattaya City Council. Together, these three took part in cleaning Pattaya reef and beach.
More than 800 volunteered for this endeavor, including 50 scuba divers from AirAsia. They went to the neighboring Koh Sak Island; about 23 kilometers off Pattaya, where they cleaned the reef at Koh Sak’s dive sites from marine debris and other objects that don’t belong there. The debris was then carefully gathered, recorded and submitted on Project AWARE’s website as part of the initiative to better manage and treat our oceans.
Tiffany Lette, Director of Global Operations at Project AWARE said:
Marine debris is one of the biggest ocean issues of our time. Project AWARE’s Dive Against DebrisTM program is a year-round, global initiative to increase debris removal efforts, protect marine life and help drive long-term change. Scuba divers have the unique training and skills to remove and report litter found beneath the surface. Project AWARE is pleased to Dive Against DebrisTM alongside AirAsia dive volunteers for this event and we thank AirAsia for their commitment to a clean healthy ocean.
Chief executive officer for AirAsia Bhd Aireen Omar commented:
The #Green24 movement was launched as a regional effort to raise the profile of climate change effects in this part of the world. We have been actively conducting programs which are designed to educate the public about the effects of climate change. This beach and reef cleanup is another measure we are taking to reach out to the various communities we serve in this region, as a call for everyone to work together towards keeping our environment sustainable for the future. We would like to thank the Pattaya City Council for their support in this vision, and to Project AWARE for working with AirAsia.
She added:
AirAsia has been working to reduce emissions in many ways, for years. Substantial investment was made to launch internal projects which were carefully designed, tested and successfully implemented. Our sustainability policies are also being closely monitored and reevaluated. We are pleased to share that our internal fuel efficiency programs have helped to reduce 22,602 tons of CO2 emissions in 2015 alone.
