SAPULUT AT A GLANCE

Sapulut Forest Development, Sustainable Forest Management

Sapulut Forest Development Sdn Bhd is a sustainable forestry company located in the State of Sabah, Malaysia. For many decades, Sabah’s rain forest was logged extensively for its valuable timber. Although such uncontrolled practice has ceased, its effect is still felt today. Many once forested regions are so badly degraded that they are lost forever. As a responsible forestry company, we hope to reverse the damage.

PANDEMIC

COVID 19

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented public health emergency that swept the globe. Businesses, operations and lifestyles in Malaysia as well as many other countries have drastically changed and are struggling to adapt to the new normal, starting with the imposed strict Movement Control Order (MCO) as a public health control measure.

In the Special Edition Newsletter published on April 30, we would like to share how it has affected us and what are the steps planned by us to get our company ready for post MCO and the new normal.
