    THE GOLDEN LEAF AWARDS2015

    In SEPTEMBER 2015 Alliance One Tobacco Malawi (AOTM) received a Golden Leaf Award in the
    Most impressive Public Service Initiative category for its reforestation program in Malawi.
    This is the 5th consecutive nomination and award for Alliance One, having won the
    awards in previous years in the following categories:

    AOTM has established forests on its own forestry farms and in government forests within a 50 km radius of all our
    growers (Mpale, Chilanga, Khola, Chikumbutso, Lombwa, Kaombe, Ngala, Dzalanyama and Viphya).
    With closer interaction with the Malawi Government through the Forestry department, AOTM has created a
    vibrant and sustainable forestry program, while continuing with our reforestation program for the past four years
    we continue to liaise with the government on concession for areas where trees have already been logged to enable
    us replant trees in order to protect our investment and continue sustaining the supply of wood for our farmers.

    The rst presentation of the Golden Leaf Awards


    took place in 2006, in Bali, Indonesia. The 2015
    Golden Leaf Awards was held in September 2015 at
    the Palazzo Re Enzo in Bologna, Italy.
    Awards are granted on an annual basis to companies
    that have achieved outstanding performance in ve
    categoriesmost impressive public service initiative;
    most promising new product introduction; most exciting
    newcomer to the industry; most outstanding service to
    the industry; BMJ Most committed to quality.

    The increase in our forestry program has created the formation of a separate Forestry department
    within Alliance One Malawi and created employment of over 1,500 people within forestry areas
    providing much needed employment within the communities and moving people away from

    making charcoal and illegal logging. To date more than 220 ex charcoal burners around Dzalanyama
    have been employed in Alliance One aorestation projects in order to curb the practice of illegal
    logging.

    To ensure sustainable curing


    wood, in 2012 the company
    started heavy aorestation
    to sustain its FCV growers.
    Five government plantations
    were identied and 5 farms
    bought. These 9 plantations,
    covering 15,200 HA were
    strategically identied and
    located within 50km radius
    to supply wood to AOTM
    farmers.
