Soroptimists Leading Greener Futures

Environment Day Message

SISEAP President Anthea Penny, " Today we reaffirm our duty to protect Mother Earth. Climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution which threaten lives, livelihoods and future generations. "

As Soroptimists, SISEAP champions practical, community‑led solutions: such as planting native trees, promoting sustainable livelihoods, advocating for climate‑resilient policies, and educating women and girls as environmental stewards. By mobilising volunteers, forging partnerships and supporting grassroots projects, we turn commitment into measurable action. Together we restore ecosystems, reduce waste and empower communities to adapt and thrive. I call today on members and partners to deepen their collaboration and scale proven initiatives, for a healthier planet and a fairer future for all.

Soroptimists are women leading greener futures,  caring for the environment is a objective of SISEAP with Soroptimists environment projects addressing SDG’s 12,11,and 13.  Soroptimists from across our 13 countries in Asia Pacific during 2025 expended
