“Sarawak Energy is pleased to contribute to this important initiative by Sabati to beautify and green the surrounding area at Isthmus where we are located.
“Our headquarters was the first building in East Malaysia to be accredited the green building certification and so it makes sense for us to support such a healthy environmental initiative,” said Sharbini during the call.
“We also encourage staf f volunteerism in support of community initiatives as an extension of our corporate social responsibility.
“Securing and retaining the GBI ( Gr een Bui lding Index) certi f ication is part of our commitment towards incorporating sustainable practices at al l levels of our operation,” he concluded.
