Welcome to the first Luen Thai celebration of the United Nation's "World Environment Day.

" I am very happy that you can join us this afternoon in this short but very important program. Through this event, we at Luen Thai, are reaffirming our commitment to responsible environmental practices. As a recognized leader in the apparel industry, we also want to set the pace in promoting environmental awareness and protection. Over the years, we have demonstrated this commitment through our corporate social responsibility practices and day-to-day business operations. Today, we call on our stakeholders like our customers, government officials, and employees to make environment initiatives and awareness work. Environmental protection is an initiative that will benefit us all. And it will continue to benefit the future generation. As a company with more than 12,000 employees in the Dongguan facility alone, we can do a lot. The individual plays an important role in the success of energy saving and environmental protection measures. This is why we marked this special day with activities for employees to create awareness on the subject of environmental protection. Externally, even our customers are making requests for us to support green initiatives and even coming up with more environmental-friendly products. In response to all these, we will soon launch our own Green Campaign, which we hope will make a big difference to the environment and look forward to significant cost savings. We believe we must set long-term objectives in terms of caring and protecting the environment. This is part of our commitment to be a good corporate citizen. I count on everyone's support for our green initiative to suceed. Earth supports all lives. No matter how things have changed and evolved in the past 4.5 billion years, all that survive through the long journey today should be treasured. Today, earth is home to around 6.2 billion people most of who are longing for a peaceful and harmonious life. Very few would want war. However, since these few people are those who are on top of the power pyramid and in control, wars are still happening. Luen Thai is a great company. I believe only a company that cares for environment would continue to lead the industry. There was a time when people thought it was impossible for a company to make good profit while at the same time taking good care of the environment. However, Toyota was clever to research into economical and gas saving cars during the energy crisis in 1970s. As a result, it won over the market and overtook the large automakers in America. So I believe only with a certain responsibility to the environment can an enterprise grow healthily and consistently. We are volunteers for the protection of environment, so far we have seen very few companies incorporate environmental protection into their company culture or consider environment protection as part of their responsibility. I would like to thank Luen Thai for engaging me in your Geen Campaign. I hope the concept of environment protection will continuously be communicated among all the employees in the future. Thank you for your support to environment protection! Thank you for your gifts! Thank you to all those who are dedicated to environmental protection!

WORLD Environment Day is celebrated globally today with activities and events to remind us of our impact on the environment and also the things we can do to improve and protect the environment. Everyone can do something for the environment. For a start, we could consider the six steps described below. One, respect life and renew our bond with nature. Without respect for nature and its biodiversity, there will be no desire to protect them. Developing respect means recognising that all living things have a right to live on this planet and that we should do no harm to them. It is also time for us to renew

our bond with nature, and start appreciating the natural world around us. Two, improve our environmental awareness and knowledge. It would be good to first read up on local and global environmental issues. What are the current environmental trends and problems? What needs to be done? Ideally, a holistic view on the environment should be adopted so that the interdependence of various environmental problems can be understood. Three, practise the 3 Rs Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (in order of sequence). The sequence is important as source reduction is usually the best way to minimise wastage. Reduce by not creating the wastage or minimising the waste in the beginning. Reuse by using the waste several times or for another purpose. Recycle by sending the waste to be processed as a resource. Four, spread the environmental message and influence others. We can go a step further by spreading the environmental message and educating family members, friends, classmates or colleagues. Furthermore, we can influence the organisation that we belong to, whether it is a school, a company or a social group, to be more environmentally friendly. Five, support local environmental initiatives and groups. Instead of relying or expecting the Government to take care of the environment, it is time for us to take responsibility. We can participate in government initiatives and
It gives me great pleasure to be among you today on the occasion of the World Environment Day and the 25th Foundation Day of the National Museum of Natural History. The World Environment Day is a reminder to show our gratefulness to Mother Nature, which sustains all forms of life. This is the day to focus our thoughts and our energies to make collective efforts towards protecting the environment. It is on this historic day in 1972, the United Nations Conference on Human Environment began in Stockholm. This year UNEP has given a very appropriate theme for the Environment Day which is, Water Two billion people are dying for it. This is an urgent appeal to each one of us to recognize the significance of Elixir of Life and the role each one of us can play to conserve it. We should be proud of our countrys natural bounty and unique bio-diversity. India is amongst the rare countries where major biomes of the world are represented. India is one among the twelve countries where 60-70% of the worlds total biodiversity exists. India has two out of the 18 biodiversity hot spots in the world. India has rich traditional knowledge and wisdom in the conservation of nature and natural resources. Religious beliefs, culture and folklore have together treated nature and environment with sanctity. Conservation and protection of environment and love for nature have always been part and parcel of Indian ethos and culture. Independent India has traveled a long way on the path of progress and industrialization in order to achieve better quality of life. We have accelerated the process of development without considering the adverse impact on nature and environment. The development without care for environment has posed threats to the very existence of life itself.

Now the realization that mere progress and economic development cannot solve all our problems has increased. Development and environment should go hand in hand. Sustainable development is the new paradigm. The Ministry of Environment and Forests has drawn many programmes and policies to combat these problems. Steps are being taken to preserve the pristine eco-systems through establishment of Wildlife Sanctuaries, National Parks and Biosphere Reserves. More and newer areas are being brought into-the protected areas status. At the same time, steps have been taken for welfare of the forest people, particularly the tribals, who have lived in the forests for centuries and who are also repository of traditional knowledge on conservation and sustainable utilization. The National Museum of Natural History is an important institutional tool for spreading awareness on the evolution of our Universe and life on it. It has played a strong and active role in creating environmental awareness. I am happy to say that the Museum has been active in creating such awareness through a number of educational programmes, exhibitions, nature camps etc. for more than two-and-a-half decades. Today, the Museum and its Regional Centres are recognized as the centres for non-formal environmental education. It is indeed a pleasure for all of us to be celebrating the 25th Year of the Foundation of the Museum. I am happy to see that a number of children have participated in various activities of the Museum. These activities will help all of you in developing a sense of environmental responsibility, which is so essential in our every day life. It is the absence of this responsibility which is causing problems on our streets, residential areas, market places and other public places. This leaves you all - responsible citizens of tomorrow, with a great burden to shoulder. But I am confident that you have the capacity not merely of shouldering this burden but also influencing people much older to you in following environmental discipline. I wish the officers and staff of National Museum of Natural History the very best in their future endeavour. I would like to thank and congratulate Prof. Yash Pal who has delivered his Key-note on the relevant theme. We need such scientists who could contribute to spread scientific temper among masses which will eventually lead to betterment of their lives and better understanding of the delicate web of life that exists on this only planet known to sustain life. I congratulate the winners of Awards for Prevention of Pollution, Rajiv Gandhi Award for Clean Technology and Indira Gandhi Paryavaran Puraskar. The awardees for the best original writings in Hindi on environmental issues also deserve my special appreciation for their efforts in popularization of environmental issues in the official languages. There is dearth of such literature in the regional languages. The Ministry will encourage other regional languages also which will help to take the environmental message to the grass root levels, across the country. I am personally grateful to our Honble Vice President, Thiru. Shekhawatji to have accepted the invitation to grace the occasion. I know that he is keenly interested in the issues related to environment. His own State of Rajasthan is an example of all climate adversities, yet you can see maximum vibrancy of all forms of life that exist there including those of fellow citizens. Before I conclude, I would like to appeal to everyone for committing to follow the path of sustainable development in right earnest.

The International Coffee Organization was established in 1963 stemming from an effort by the United Nations to stabilize fluctuating coffee prices. Its original purpose was to keep coffee prices level and predictable which would provide a certain amount of security for coffee farmers. However, over time its purpose shifted and today its mission is to bring together producing and consuming countries to tackle problems in the world coffee sector and to make practical contributions to the coffee industry. This mission can be further broken down into four components: generally regulating the coffee market, generally improving the coffee market, promoting sustainable coffee farming, and improving the standard of living for coffee farmers. The International Coffee Organization has put a lot of effort into each of those areas, and while there is still room for improvement, the organizations efforts have proved largely successful. Today the International Coffee Organization, or ICO, consists of 77 members: 45 exporting countries and 32 importing ones. These countries are mainly located in South America, North America, Europe, the southern half of Africa, and southern Asia. Together these countries account for 97% of coffee production and 80% of coffee consumption. The ICO meets twice a year and although private businesses are not allowed to speak during the meetings, as the ICO hosts separate forums where they can voice their concerns, they are allowed to attend them. The point of the ICOs meetings is to settle disagreements, approve or change the annual budget, and address concerns regarding the current International Coffee Agreement, or ICA. The ICA is a compilation of regulations that help the ICO achieve its mission. When updating the ICA, the organization requires either at least two thirds of exporting countries and two thirds of importing countries approval or 70% total approval. The International Coffee... Toyota ambition is to deliver air travel and related services with active and preventive environmental work being a natural part of our business. Reducing the environmental impact caused by our companys activities is a continuous ongoing process and means above all focusing on the emissions and noise level of our aircraft as well as procurement waste. Environmental work is the responsibilities of all our employees. Therefore we shall continuously inform and train all our employees so that they have the highest levels of awareness and knowledge of environmental issues. Toyota shall actively cooperate with national and international governments and organisations Toyota regards the climate issue as a global concern which requires coordinated international efforts from within the aviation industry.

Fundamental to our environmental work is that we regard environment legislation as a minimum requirement and that other stakeholders requirements, such as customers and employees, are the driving force behind our efforts.
