We are actively involved in greening the regions where we operate. KMG has taken on the commitment to plant over 4 million saxaul seedlings on a 15 thousand hectare area on the dried bottom of the Aral Sea. This way, our company is enhancing its contribution to the green economy and nature preservation for future generations, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable development," noted Magzum Mirzagaliyev.
