Primarily domiciled in the Fiji Islands, we are acutely aware of and have first-hand experience of the devastating impact of climate change. We believe that it is critical to take care of our planet and how important it is to Build Back Stronger.
Our Go-Green journey is at its early stage of development. We:
- Have the Plant a Tree, Save a Life initiative we engage in hard wood and mangrove re-planting initiatives throughout the year.
- Launched the Vinod Patel Green Office initiative.
- Are collecting data to set baseline targets for decarbonisation.
Given our size and the industries we operate in, the Vinod Patel Group is well positioned to assist the successful execution of national climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. We:
- Ensure that our key locations across Fiji are open after natural disasters.
- Continuously lobby at the national-level for trades (e.g. carpentry) certification to be mandated for any rebuilding efforts in communities and villages to ensure cyclone-proofing.
- Donate to any Rehabilitation Fund that is established by Government for community rebuilding initiatives after a severe natural disaster.
- Sponsor workshops/trainings for engineers regarding product quality standards.
