At AP Sensing, we’re committed to protecting not only your assets—whether it’s your power grid, tunnel, or rail network—but also the world around us. As a successful company, we contribute to social and environmental initiatives through the dedication of our employees and partners, whose efforts are central to our success.
Passion for Plants
Since many years, we have committed to planting 100 trees for every fiber optic sensing interrogator (DTS/DAS/DTSS) sold, and additional trees to offset our business travel. Partnering with the non-profit WeForest, we support reforestation projects in Malawi, improving air quality, reducing pollution, combating climate change, and promoting biodiversity.
Our passion goes beyond serving our customers; we are deeply committed to corporate social responsibility and preserving our planet through our Passion for Plants initiative.
As of March 2025, we have planted 332,162 trees.
Why is AP Sensing Planting Trees?
- Climate Protection: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, helping to reduce the effects of climate change through carbon sequestration.
- Forest Restoration: Planting trees helps restore degraded ecosystems, improving biodiversity and protecting vital habitats.
- Social Impact: Tree planting supports local communities by creating sustainable livelihoods, improving water retention and soil quality, and promoting sustainable agriculture.
About the Project - Malawi
Despite being protected since 1927, the Mount Mulanje Biosphere Reserve in southwest Malawi faces deforestation due to poverty, population growth, and rising demand for land and energy. Our project aims to reverse deforestation by engaging 13,500 families in community-based forest management to restore over 7,500 hectares of forest. New income opportunities, like beekeeping and sustainable agroforestry, further reduce pressure on forest resources while introducing improved cookstoves and sustainable fuelwood sources.
