In line with Sime Darby Motors’ commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles, this saw more than 100 employee volunteers gathered at Sepang Gold Coast for tree planting activities, as well as beach cleaning in partnership with non-governmental organisation Ocean Hero Conservation.

The ‘Seeds of Sustainability’ initiative saw more than 50 Casuarina saplings planted along the shoreline of Sepang Gold Coast and more than 73kg of rubbish collected from the beach. An ESG awareness briefing and sustainability workshop was also held to share and educate on the importance of ESG and how employees can play a role in Sime Darby Motors’ sustainability efforts.

Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director of Retail and Distribution, Sime Darby Motors Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Macau, said, “In line with our pledge to forge a sustainable future, our ‘Seeds of Sustainability’ initiative provides a platform for employee volunteerism in contributing to environmental preservation, alongside instilling a strong ESG mindset. Efforts such as these are also part of our strategic plans for sustainable growth, which include encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles (EV) in Malaysia, supporting the country’s decarbonisation objectives.”
