Porsche Asia Pacific, in collaboration with Porsche AG, Porsche Malaysia (represented by Sime Darby Auto Performance), and Inokom Corporation Sdn Bhd, has introduced an environmental protection initiative for school children at a local public elementary school. The program, known as “Sahabat Lestari,” aims to instil responsible environmental behaviour and integrate sustainability practices into daily school life.

The initiative is supported by the Malaysian non-governmental organisation Free Tree Society, with the goal of fostering empowerment through education. Porsche Asia Pacific emphasized that the program encourages students to become environmental advocates within their families and communities.

As part of the initiative, students participate in workshops where they are introduced to environmental topics in an age-appropriate manner. A key component of the program is the establishment of a school-based mini jungle, which will be maintained by the students and faculty. Additionally, a 30-day recycling challenge encourages students to collect and recycle paper and plastic from their daily school activities. Those who complete the program will receive a certificate recognizing them as “Eco-Ambassadors.”
