KCM will work to help end poverty in all its forms everywhere the exchange is operating. “Poverty is more than the lack of income and resources to ensure a sustainable livelihood. Its manifestations include hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and other basic services, social discrimination and exclusion as well as the lack of participation in decision-making. Economic growth must be inclusive to provide sustainable jobs and promote equality.”
By developing a relativity unknown raw leaf commodity product which has the potential to bring in tens of billions of dollars into a economically depressed area, KCM can have a direct and positive impact on a growing population plagued by poverty hoping one day to end it, in all its forms, throughout South-East Asia and beyond.
By 2030, KCM could help significantly eradicate extreme poverty for all indigenous people directly connected to the commodity exchange living on less than $1.90 a day
By 2050, KCM could significantly reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty within its sphere of economic influence in all its dimensions according to the specific national definitions of the kratom producing country's.
KCM could be making significant progress in implementing nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable within the sphere of economical influence of KCM.
By 2050, KCM can ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and vulnerable, will have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic services, ownership and control over land and other forms of property, inheritance,natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial services,including micro-finance(ing) and (other agro-forestry projects) as a result of the mass economical inductive, a new commodity market can have for many of the kratom exporting country's
By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those invulnerable situations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters as a result of the continued market development surrounding KCM and its activities in eight different country's.
KCM can ensure significant mobilization of resources from a variety of sources through enhanced development cooperation;which will provide adequate and predictable means for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, to implement programs and policies to end poverty in all its dimensions through a coalition corporate culture allowing KCM to work toward developing roads, bridges, canals, schools and water works projects as a result of its agro-forestry activities.
KCM is committed to working with sound policy frameworks at the national, regional and international levels, based on an advocacy of the poor and gender-sensitive developmental strategies, which will support accelerated investment in poverty eradication actions within the sphere of KCM's economic activities.
Together we can improve the daily lives of a half a billion people while providing a product that can make a difference in billions of lives globally!
KCM is committed to ending hunger by active working to achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture alongside our agro-forestry activities!
How much food can be grown in the same forest as kratom?
KCM strongly believes that this global exchange offers key solutions for sustainable development, and can play a central role in hunger and poverty eradication throughout South East Asia.
1.4 billion people have no access to electricity worldwide –most of whom live in rural areas of the developing world. KCM believes that energy poverty in many regions of S. E. Asia is a fundamental barrier to reducing hunger and ensuring that this geographical area can produce enough food to meet future demand. Asa result, KCM is dedicated to helping in these developmental systems that will bring power to some of the poorest areas of S. E. Asia as a result of the development of our agro-forestry product markets.
KCM understands that Southern Asia faces the greatest hunger burden, with about 281 million undernourished people. As KCM develops into a global billion dollar commodity market the ability to develop sustainable food supply chains will improve dramatically with support from our organization, as well as the natural result of the local peoples having more financial resources to invest in further food production activities.
KCM is also dedicated to investing in and encouraging additional agro-forestry type productions along side the Kratom trees the farmers are picking the leaves off of anyway. There are thousands of additional items (some undiscovered yet) that can be grown in the forest for global consumption alongside and within the forest being managed already.
By 2030, KCM is dedicated to ending hunger and ensuring access to all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations, including infants, which should help to provide nutritious and sufficient food all year round within the economical sphere of our influence.
By 2050, KCM could contribute significantly in ending all forms of malnutrition within the sphere of influence of KCM.
By 2030, KCM can help establish the internationally agreed targets on stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age, and address the nutritional needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women and older persons within the economical sphere of our influence.
Lets stop for a moment and ask ourselves “what would going from making $1.95 a day or less to$5.50 a day or $10.00 a day or how does $3.50 per hour effect the ability to grow and develop the nutritional needs of those mentioned above?” KCM believes the best way to improve peoples lives is to promote and provide a way to leverage the raw untapped resources in their area, in a productive sustainable way capable of adding the affects mentioned above!
By 2030, KCM will double or even triple the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, in particular women, (and especially) indigenous peoples (as a whole) including family farmers. This will include naturally promote secure and equal access to land, other productive resources and inputs, knowledge,financial services, markets and opportunities for value addition and non-farm employment as an extend result of a new billion dollar commodity market developing in a economically depressed area.
By 2050, KCM can ensure sustainable food production systems and implement both resilient agricultural and agro-forestry practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality.
By 2030, KCM will be well on its way to helping maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants along with farmed and domesticated animals and their related wild species, including through soundly managed and diversified seed and plant banks at the national, regional and international levels This will promote access and provide fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, as internationally agreed cooperation requires.
As a result of KCM developing large areas of agro-forestry there will be a substantial increase in additional investments, including through enhanced international cooperation, in rural infrastructure,agricultural research and extension services, technology development and plant and livestock gene banks in order to enhance agricultural productive capacity. In particular the least developed countries of S. E. Asia which as result may have the healthiest ecosystems for large kratom production along with a multitude of other agro-forestry products as well.
KCM is dedicated in working to prevent trade restrictions and distortions in our agricultural markets, including through the parallel elimination of all forms of agricultural export subsidies and all export measures with equivalent effect, in accordance with the mandate of the Doha Development Round relating to exportation and importation kratom itself.
KCM will adopt measures to ensure the proper functioning of its commodity markets and its derivatives and facilitate timely access to market information, including on the standard reserves, which helps limit extreme product price volatility hurting the poorest people first.
GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being
KCM is dedicated to ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for everyone of all ages!
KCM believes that ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being for all at all ages is essential to sustainable development. The single biggest way to improve peoples health is to give them access to better food sources through financial progress while implementing a plan to deal with human waste (a serious health threat to everyone, but a integral part of the ecosystem insubstantial development) as well as clean water.
By 2030, KCM can help to make a difference in the fight against the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases directly or indirectly, as a huge financial inductive throughout the S.E. Asian country's.
By 2030, KCM can be involved in reducing premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being as a result of the increased economic activities.
KCM is strongly committed to strengthening activities through out the global community to help in the prevention and treatment of substance abuse, including narcotic drug abuse and harmful use of alcohol. By 2030, KCM can have a huge influence on the number of deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents as a result of its direct investment in creating or building better roadway systems,that are capable of helping to prevent those deaths while contributing to the local economy for better infrastructure projects,which is a result of our economic activities.
KCM is dedicated to substantially reducing the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination by actively being involved in the agro-forestry industry standards which will prevent the need of large scale pollution and contamination.
KCM will actually substantially increase health financing and the recruitment, development, training and retention of the health workforce especially in the least developed countries around S. E.Asia as the economy continues to improve for many of these people. Remember our goal is to maximize the forest production capacities to produce not only kratom for the global commodity markets but many different types products as well as healthy food items to massively improving the lives of a half a billion people in S. E. Asia.
GOAL 4: Quality Education
KCM can help ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning throughout South East Asia.
KCM is strongly committed to helping 10's of millions of people obtain a quality education that is the absolute foundation to improving people’s lives and sustainable development.
KCM understands and wants to promote basic literacy skills for everyone within our sphere of influenced. Any large scale farms managed by the exchange directly will have a school available to all children within the area.
By 2030, KCM can help ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes
By 2030, KCM can help ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development,care and pre-primary education so that they are ready for primary education within the sphere of our economic influence as well as generating billions in hard earned currency for kratom exporting country's to implement a stronger educational system as well.
By 2030, KCM can ensure equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education directly related to the science of Agro-forestry, agriculture and the technology that goes along with it.

KCM's economical sphere of influence can both directly and indirectly build and upgrade education facilities that are child, disability and gender sensitive and provide safe, nonviolent, inclusive and effective learning environments for all
By 2050, KCM can help substantially expand the number of scholarships available to developing countries of S. E. Asia, in particular for enrollment in higher education, including vocational training and information and communications technology, technical,engineering and scientific programs, in developed countries and other developing countries
By 2030, KCM will have substantially increased the supply of qualified teachers, including through international cooperation for teacher training in developing countries as a result of our economic activities which will allow for the increased supply of qualified teachers.
KCM is committed to helping achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
KCM believes that while the world has achieved progress towards gender equality and women’s empowerment under the Millennium Development Goals (including equal access to primary education between girls and boys), women and girls continue to suffer discrimination and violence in every part of the world
We understand that gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world and is a righteous business model to promote within our sphere of influence.
KCM is committed to helping provide women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work along with the economic decision-making processes which will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large.
We will end all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere within its economical sphere of influence.
KCM will work tirelessly to ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision making in, economic and business life within the sphere of KCM influence.
KCM can ensure either directly (by providing land and building)or indirectly (by donations and economic inputs) that we are committed to universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights as agreed in accordance with the Program of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development and the Beijing Platform for Action and the outcome documents of their review conferences
KCM is committed to helping to give women equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to ownership and control overland and other forms of property, financial services, inheritance and natural resources, in accordance with national laws.
By 2050 KCM will have diligently worked to strengthen sound policies and enforceable legislation for the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls at all levels with ins sphere of economical influence.
GOAL 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
KCM can ensure access to water and sanitation.
KCM understands that clean, accessible water for all is an essential part of the world we want to live in. There is sufficient fresh water on the planet to achieve this. But due to bad economics or poor infrastructure, every year millions of people, most of them children, die from diseases associated with inadequate water supply,sanitation and hygiene.
KCM understands that water scarcity, poor water quality and inadequate sanitation negatively impact food security, livelihood choices and educational opportunities for poor families across the world.
By 2050, KCM could achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water both directly and indirectly with the economic stimulus the exchange itself will have for a half a billion people throughout S.E. Asia.
By 2030, KCM can achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all on every one of it's leased farms as well in the local geographical areas as the sanitation waste is vital for future agricultural projects. Everything is used in sustainable development, even human waste!
By 2030, KCM will ensure with vast farms that it can and will improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse with in its sphere of economic influence.
By 2030, KCM can and will substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors of its economic influence and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater.
By 2030, KCM will have implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through trans boundary cooperation as appropriate.
By 2030, KCM can have a “protect and restore water-related ecosystems” plan of action in place to include management systems for mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes throughout the kratom exporting country's.
By 2050, KCM will have expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in S. E. Asia in water- and sanitation-related activities and programs, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies as demand continues to grow. We will strongly work and diligently strive to strengthen the participation of local communities in improving water and sanitation management.
GOAL 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
KCM can help ensure access to affordable,reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all with a new commodity market.
KCM understands that energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity the world faces today. Be it for jobs, security, climate change, food production or increasing incomes, access to energy for all is essential. Clean, Sustainable, renewable energy is opportunity –it transforms lives, economies and the planet for everyone. We support UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Sustainable Energy for All initiative to ensure universal access to modern energy services,improve efficiency and increase use of renewable sources. These renewable services keep the kratom forest clean for generations to come!
By 2030, KCM can help ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services both directly and indirectly through its emerging global commodity economic input.
By 2030, KCM, through agro-forestry and agricultural advancements will allow for the development of and increase the share of renewable energy in the S.E. Asia area.
By 2030, KCM can enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and advanced and cleaner organic-fuel technology, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technology. The forest provides enough bio-mass to create enough energy to power whole country's.
By 2030, KCM is dedicated to investing in expanding infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modern and sustainable energy services for all in within our economic sphere of influences, in particular the least developed countries of S.E. Asia, in accordance with their respective programs of support.
GOAL 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
KCM can promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for those in kratom exporting country's.
KCM understands the UN's concern that roughly half the world’s population still lives on the equivalent of about US$2 a day. And in too many places, having a job doesn’t guarantee the ability to escape from poverty without the ability to actively use the raw resources available to those economically depressed areas. This slow and uneven progress requires KCM to rethink and retool its economic and social policies aimed at eradicating poverty which is why these UN 17 Goals related to KCM is included in this packet.
KCM can and will change the nature of the lack of decent work opportunities, insufficient investments and under-consumption which has lead to an erosion of the basic social contract underlying democratic societies. The creation of quality jobs will remain a major aspect of the commodity market.
As the UN STATES “Sustainable economic growth will requiresocieties to create the conditions that allow people to have quality jobs that stimulate the economy while not harming the environment.KCM will create up to a million plus job opportunities making every attempt to create a decent working conditions required for the economic and mental health of an entire population.
KCM believe that a sustained per capita economic growth in accordance with national circumstances can happen as the commodity market develops within the borders of the kratom exporting country's.
As KCM develops to its full market capitalization it will provide a pipeline to achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological upgrading and innovation, including through a focus on high-value added and labour-intensive sectors. Agro-forestry will be a“high-value labor intensive sector!”
KCM can work to promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities within our commodity markets with the expressed intent to create decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encourage the formalization and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (farms), including through access to financial services provided by the exchange to local independent farmers.
KCM can improve economic growth from environmental efficient, scientific management, in accordance with the 10-year framework of programs on sustainable consumption and production, with developed countries (like KCM originating in a developed country) taking the lead.
By 2050, KCM can substantially reduce the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training through its economic sphere of influence.
KCM can implement effective measures to eradicate forced labor, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the wors tforms of child labor, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2050 end child labor in all its forms by substantially increasing the economic conditions of a half a billion people both directly and indirectly within the economy sphere of KCM's economic influence. We believes that it can protect labor rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers.
By 2030, KCM can devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism with the local governments that creates jobs and promotes local culture.KCM can help strengthen the capacity of domestic financial institutions to encourage and expand access to banking, insurance and financial services for all through its economic inputs into local, regional and national economy.
We can increase Aid for Trade support for developing countries, including through the Enhanced Integrated Framework for Trade-Related Technical Assistance to Least Developed Countries By 2030, KCM can develop a strategy for youth employment and can be focused on implementing the Global Jobs Pact of the International Labor Organization.
GOAL 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
KCM can help build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation through the commodity markets.
KCM understands that without investments in infrastructure –transport, irrigation, energy and information and communication technology our market can not develop. This investment is crucial to achieving sustainable development and empowering communities in many countries which is why it is determined to lease millions of acres to engage in sustainable agro-forestry science. It has long been recognized by the UN that growth in productivity and incomes, and improvements in health and education outcomes require investment in infrastructure that can not happen unless there is a bountiful economic input.
KCM believes in the concepts of the science of sustainable industrial development as the primary source of income generation which allows for rapid and sustained increases in living standards for all people, and provides the technological solutions to environmentally sound industrialization in the developing country's of S. E. Asia.
KCM is dedicated to technological progress as the foundation of efforts to achieve environmental objectives, such as increased resource and energy-efficiency. Without science, technology and innovation, industrialization will not happen, and without industrialization, development will not happen continuing the vicious cycle of poverty.
KCM can be instrumental in the Development of quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including regional and trans-border infrastructure,to support economic development and human well-being.
KCM can promote through both directly and indirect economic influence through sustainable industrialization and, by 2030, significantly raise our industry’s share of employment opportunities and increasing the overall gross domestic product, in line with national circumstances.
KCM will directly and indirectly increase the access of small-scale industrial and other enterprises to financial services, including affordable credit, and their integration into value chains and markets as a result of the economic inputs into these country's.
By 2030, KCM will be well on its way to influencing the upgrade of current infrastructure while allowing for other industries to make themselves a part of the sustainable effort, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies in the industrial processes in those kratom exporting countries encouraging them to take action in accordance with their respective capabilities
KCM will invest in advanced scientific research, upgrading the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all kratom exporting countries, including, by2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people and public and private research and development spending as a result of a large scale agro-forestry economy.
KCM will support domestic technology development, research and innovation in the kratom exporting countries, including by ensuring a conducive policy environment for industrial diversification and value addition to our commodity. We can directly and indirectly significantly increase access to information and communications technology and strive to provide universal and affordable access to the Internet in least developed countries by 2020
GOAL 10: Reduced Inequality
KCM can reduce inequality within and among multiple country's.
The international community has made significant strides towards lifting people out of poverty. The most vulnerable nations – the least developed countries continue to make inroads into poverty reduction. However, inequality still persists and large disparities remain in access to health and education services and other assets which KCM can improve both directly and indirectly through the markets economic influence.
KCM understands that economic growth is not sufficient to reduce poverty if it is not inclusive and if it does not involve the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental.
By 2030, KCM can help progressively achieve and sustain income growth of the bottom 40 per cent of the population at a rate higher than the national average. The organization has a dedicated desire to empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age,sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status. We will adopt policies, especially fiscal, wage and social protection policies, and progressively achieve greater equality for the kratom exporting country's
KCM as a multi-billion dollar market can ensure enhanced representation of kratom exporting country's as a voice for developing countries in decision-making position in global international economic and financial institutions in order to deliver more effective, credible, accountable and legitimate institutions. Our daily activities will encourage official development assistance and financial flows from global financial investors, including foreign direct investment to kratom exporting states in accordance with their national plans and programs
GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
KCM can help make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
KCM knows cities are hubs for ideas, commerce, culture, science,productivity, social development and much more. At their best, cities have enabled people to advance socially and economically. However,many challenges exist to maintaining cities in a way that continues to create jobs and prosperity while not straining land and resources. The future of agro-forestry science will meet the challenges of the21st century and beyond.
Common urban challenges include congestion, lack of funds to provide basic services, a shortage of adequate housing and declining infrastructure. The challenges cities face can be overcome in ways that allow them to continue to thrive and grow, while improving resource use and reducing pollution (which is actually a future opportunity to engage in sustainable development science) and poverty. The future we all want includes cities of opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation and more.
By 2030, KCM can help ensure access for those living in kratom exporting country's to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services and upgrade slums with positive economic inputs. The organization would help provide directly or indirectly access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all (how much biomass can the forest produce for methane production?), improving road safety,notably by expanding public transport, with special attention to the needs of those in vulnerable situations, women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons as the economy grows.
By 2030, KCM can be involved in inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all the kratom exportation country's. The company would help significantly reduce the number of deaths and the number of people affected and substantially decrease the direct economic losses relative to global gross domestic product caused by disasters,including water-related disasters, with a focus on protecting empowering the poor and people in vulnerable situations throughout the kratom exporting country's
By 2030, KCM economic activities will reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities,including by paying special attention to air quality (large fores tpreserves) and municipal and other waste management using sustainable development-oriented sciences. Our organization is dedicated toward a longer term positive economic, social and environmental link between urban, peri-urban and rural areas by strengthening national and regional development planning as the commodity market develops.
By 2030, KCM can invest insubstantially increasing resource efficiency, mitigation and adaptation to climate change, resilience to disasters, and develop and implement, in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, holistic disaster risk management at all levels We are dedicated to investing in financial and technical assistance while helping to implement building sustainable and resilient buildings utilizing local materials.
GOAL 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
KCM can help ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
As a developing agro-forestry commodity market we believe that sustainable consumption and production promotes resource and energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure and provides access to basic services through green (agro-forestry) and decent jobs and a better quality of life for all those within our sphere of economic influence. This implementation helps to achieve overall development to reduce future economic, environmental and social costs, strengthen economic competitiveness and reduce poverty throughout the kratom exporting country's.
Sustainable consumption and production using agro-forestry science aims at “doing more and better with less,” increasing net welfare gains from economic activities by reducing resource use, degradation and pollution along the whole life-cycle, while increasing the quality of life in the kratom exporting country's. This involves different stakeholders,including business (like KCM), consumers, policy makers, researchers,scientists, retailers, media, and development cooperation agencies,among others.
What KCM is committed to doing requires a systemic approach and cooperation among actors operating in the supply chain, from farmers to producers to final consumers. It involves engaging consumers through awareness-raising and education on sustainable consumption and lifestyles, providing consumers with adequate information through standards and labels and engaging in sustainable public procurement, among others.
By 2030, KCM can achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources throughout large sections of raw forest.
By 2030, KCM can halve per capita HUGE food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains by turning that into bio-waste capably of “feeding the forest” including post-harvest losses!
By 2020, KCM is totally dedicated to achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout the life cycle in accordance with agreed international frameworks, and significantly reduce the release to air, water and soil in order to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment.
By 2030, KCM, with its business model can substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse to feed the forest! KCM will work diligently to promote public procurement practices that are sustainable, in accordance with national policies and priorities
By 2030, KCM can ensure that people throughout S.E. Asia will have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature based on a synergistic relationship between business, environment and local populations. We are dedicated to supporting kratom exporting country's strengthening their scientific and technological capacity to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production
KCM can strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all kratom exporting country's. We can and will integrate practical climate change measures into policies, strategies and planning relating to our business model.
KCM supports sustainable climate action.
GOAL 14: Life Below Water
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources.
KCM is dedicated to encouraging the increased scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States.
KCM is dedicated to Sustainable forests management, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss.
Forests cover 30 per cent of the Earth’s surface and in addition to providing food security and shelter, forests are key to combating climate change, protecting biodiversity and the homes of the indigenous population.
Thirteen million hectares of forests are being lost every year while the persistent degradation of dry lands has led to the desertification of 3.6 billion hectares. KCM stops the loss of tens of millions of hectares throughout S. E. Asia.
Deforestation and desertification –caused by human activities and climate change – pose major challenges to sustainable development and have affected the lives and livelihoods of millions of people in the fight against poverty.Intense efforts are being made by KCM to work towards the efficient management of the agro-forestry sciences to combat desertification.
By 2030, KCM can ensure the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services, in particular forests, wetlands, mountains inline with obligations under international agreements.
By 2020, KCM can and will promote the implementation of sustainable management of all types of forests, halt deforestation, restore degraded forests and substantially increase afforestation and reforestation globally.
By 2030, KCM can ensure throughout all of the kratom exporting country's that the conservation of mountain ecosystems,including their biodiversity, in order to enhance their capacity to provide benefits that are essential for sustainable development is an integral part of our business model. We can ensure that actions to reduce the degradation of natural habitats, halt the loss of biodiversity and, by 2030, protect and prevent the extinction of threatened species is paramount to all of our futures.
KCM will take urgent action to end poaching and trafficking of protected species of flora and fauna and address both demand and supply of illegal wildlife products throughout many of our kratom farms. The organization will be mobilized and significantly increasing financial resources from all sources to conserve biodiversity and ecosystems.
KCM will mobilize significant resources from all sources and at all levels to finance sustainable forest management and provide adequate incentives to kratom exporting countries to advance such management, including for conservation and reforestation. We are dedicated to supporting the efforts to combat poaching and trafficking of protected species, including by increasing the capacity of local communities to pursue sustainable livelihood opportunities that does not require the poaching in the first place.
GOAL 16: Peace and Justice Strong Institutions
Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies.
Goal 16 of the Sustainable Development Goals which KCM has made part of its business plan is dedicated to the promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, the provision of access to justice for all, and building effective, accountable institutions at all levels. We will develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels to work to promote just and peaceful societies.
KCM is dedicated to strengthen relevant national institutions, including through international cooperation, for building capacity at all levels, in particular in developing countries, to prevent violence and combat terrorism and crime.
KCM is dedicated to ensure public access to information and protection of fundamental freedoms,in accordance with national legislation and international agreements.
GOAL 17: Partnerships to achieve the Goal
KCM is committed to helping to revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
A successful sustainable development agenda requires partnerships between governments, the private sector like KCM and civil society.These inclusive partnerships built upon principles and values, as hared vision, and shared goals that place people and the planet at the center, are needed at the global, regional, national and local level. There is an understanding that urgent action is needed to mobilize, redirect and unlock the trans formative power of trillions of dollars of private resources to deliver on sustainable development objectives like KCM has.
Long-term investments, such as the long tern leases KCM is working on will included foreign direct investments needed in critical sectors. These important issues include sustainable energy,infrastructure and transport, as well as information and communications technologies.
The public sector will need to set a clear direction (like KCM has done here). KCM will consistently review and monitoring frameworks, regulations (both company, nation as well as international) along with incentive structures that enable investments to reinforce sustainable development throughout the kratom exporting country's of S. E. Asia into the 23rdcentury and beyond.
