Layang Kaji’s Adherence to MC&I
We are committed to meeting and exceeding the requirements outlined by MC&I to ensure that our operations are both economically productive and environmentally responsible. Here’s how we adhere to these guidelines:
  1. Sustainable Logging Practices
    Our forest operations are designed to balance resource extraction with the long-term health of the forest. We implement sustainable harvesting methods that prevent deforestation, limit soil disturbance, and encourage forest regeneration.


  2. Environmental Conservation
    We prioritize the protection of biodiversity, water bodies, and ecosystems. Through strict environmental impact assessments and monitoring, we ensure that our activities have minimal adverse effects on the natural environment.


  3. Community Engagement and Welfare
    At Layang Kaji, we actively engage with local communities, including Orang Asli groups, ensuring their involvement and benefiting from our forestry projects. We respect traditional land rights and work collaboratively with local stakeholders to improve livelihoods.


  4. Use of Advanced Technology
    To enhance our forest management practices, we employ advanced technologies such as GIS and LiDAR to map forest areas, monitor boundaries, and reduce operational impact. These technologies help ensure our adherence to MC&I's strict environmental guidelines.


  5. Certification and Compliance
    Our commitment to MC&I is validated through certifications under the Malaysian Timber Certification Scheme (MTCS), which aligns with international standards for responsible forestry, ensuring the highest level of transparency and accountability in our operations.
