Perodua’s commitment towards a more environmental-friendly world has been raised onto another level towards a more sustainable operation with the introduction of Laman Hijau located within the Perodua HQ near Rawang, Selangor.
What is Laman Hijau, you ask? Perodua is all about promoting a more positive work environment and this new open recreational area for staff members is set up with greenery and fountains powered by solar electricity to do just that.
According to Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad, “This green initiative includes the installation of solar panels on the roofs of our manufacturing facilities, which we will further install on most of the buildings within our campus. Our new staff locker room facility, named Lemari, also makes use of a green wall for natural insulation.”
“And it does not end there – we are also harvesting other natural resources like rainwater and atmospheric water and furthering our efforts to eliminate waste on the whole, benefitting Mother Earth and increasing our operational efficiency. Together with our products, known for their fuel efficiency, this is how we define sustainable growth within our natural ecosystem,” added Dato’ Zainal.
Perodua’s green initiative began in June 2017 with the announcement of its ECO Garden, set to be launched next month. The 1,500 square-metre garden utilises recycled waste materials in its construction, solar energy and a diverse variety of plants and trees, amongst others. Kudos to Perodua and their efforts in preserving the environment and maximising efficiency.
