Race to ZERO

Malaysia pledged to reduce its greenhouse gases by 45% by 2030 in the race to zero emissions. IOI Corporation Berhad (IOIC) and IOI Properties Group Berhad (IOIPG) have committed to create a more sustainable and climate-friendly world through various measures and activities. IOIC’s vision of a low carbon future is addressed in IOIC’s five-year strategic priorities and is aligned with six United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals. IOIPG’s core purpose of Creating a Sustainable Future is also reflected in its commitment to create a positive impact on the economy and society while minimising impact on the environment.

In our continuous effort to reduce the carbon footprint, Yayasan Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng (Yayasan TSLSC) has initiated a recycling culture in IOIC and IOIPG in collaboration with Tzu-Chi Foundation Malaysia (Tzu-Chi). A non-profit organisation founded by Master Cheng Yen in Taiwan, Tzu-Chi has been thriving and has since set up 160 recycling centres and over 980 recycling points across Malaysia.

Yayasan TSLSC Executive Director Datin Joanne Wong, Yayasan TSLSC Senior Executive Ms Elain Teoh and our colleagues visited one of Tzu-Chi’s recycling centres in Taman Desa,Petaling Jaya on 25 March 2021. It was a fruitful visit, which led to a progressive collaboration to escalate the practice of the 7Rs (Rethink, Repurpose, Recycle, Reuse, Reduce, Recover and Repair) in our organisation.
