Those who worked part of the year received pro-rata payments.

Executive Chair Faiz Khan says the bonus is given across the board to all colleagues based on the financial success of their companies.

This year they declared $7m in lease bonuses to their pine landowners.

Khan says in addition they have successfully delivered a number of projects, including producing and supplying five percent of Fiji’s total power demand through their biomass cogeneration plant from renewable energy sources.
