TREE PLANTING PROJECT
Italy 2021 – Dosolo, Mantua, Italy
The Po is the longest river that runs across northern Italy. The Lower Po and Po Delta are home to high biodiversity; however, they are most at risk due to flood frequency and rapid subsidence.
In support of the flood mitigation measures and re-nature initiatives along the Po Valley, Interplex has partnered One Tree Planted to afforest a land habitat in Dosolo, Mantua which has been designated as both a Natura 2000 and UNESCO MAB (Man and Biosphere) site. Under the Italy 2021 – Dosolo project, 8,840 trees will be planted. In addition, activities which promotes environmental education will be organized for volunteers and the local community to further support conservation in the area and the continuation of its protected state.
We are excited to see this afforestation project to completion by end 2021 and look forward to an overall improvement of the environment in north Italy.

Climate Change
Interplex recognizes that climate change is one of the biggest threats of our time. We plan to plant one million trees across our properties and in their surrounding local communities to contribute to cleaner environment. As at the end of 2021, we’ve planted about 20,000 trees.
Renewable Energy
On top of initiatives to improve our energy efficiency, we have also begun harnessing clean energy across our facilities to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. We have already installed solar panels on 37% of our facilities in China and are continuing to put up solar panels at one facility in Southeast Asia. Our goal is to reduce 3212 tons of C0z emissions by end of financial year 2022.
GHG Emissions
Our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are primarily focused on purchased electricity and fuel consumption. We currently measure, monitor and review these emissions at our manufacturing facilities and offices. Since 2016, we’ve reduced 13% in tons of C0z, emitted per sales dollar.
