Supporting Global Sustainability Objectives
As an organisation, we support the sustainable development agenda of the United Nations and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (“UN SDGs”), which collectively form a blueprint to build a better future for all. We have aligned each of our sustainability topics to specific UN SDGs, giving greater direction and meaning to our ongoing sustainability initiatives, while guiding the ongoing process by which we grow our commitments year by year.
Supported Goals
We develop affordable housing and enable homeownership for people in middle-to-lower-income groups, provide long-term employment opportunities to local communities, and contribute to charitable initiatives that improve livelihoods for community members.
We provide hygienic and safe food packaging solutions that support consumer health and well-being, promote good practices in employee safety and health, and develop our townships with facilities that promote holistic well-being.
We provide employees with avenues for continuous learning and professional development, offer local students valuable industry experience through internships, and raise awareness of the benefits of recycling amongst schoolchildren.
We adopt energy-efficient machinery and lighting in our manufacturing plants and development sites, and embrace renewable energy through the installation of solar photovoltaic (“PV”) systems at our manufacturing plants, sales galleries, and headquarters.
We contribute to the Malaysian economy via taxes and through the employment of local talents while concurrently ensuring a safe and secure working environments that uphold good labour practices and adhere to all relevant laws and regulations.
We continuously invest in product innovation to develop sustainable packaging solutions while utilising resource-efficient machinery and construction techniques to promote optimised material usage. We also build public infrastructure at our developments, improving connectivity for residents.
We provide equality in homeownership opportunities for local communities via our quality affordable homes while maintaining a non-discriminatory approach to employment, recruitment and stakeholder engagement.
We continuously expand our affordable housing presence across Malaysia and neighbouring countries and place emphasis on the development of self-sustaining townships that provide housing, improved connectivity and other economic benefits to local communities.
We innovate sustainable, recyclable and resource-efficient packaging solutions while investing in technology to reduce our waste and energy consumption. In addition, we continuously enhance our recycling efforts and encourage similar practices across our supply chain.
We reduce our carbon footprint by downgauging films, utilising recycled resin, adopting energy-efficient machinery, and increasing our use of renewable energy, amongst other initiatives. We also promote environmental awareness within local communities via collaborations with industry associations.
We contribute to conserving ocean and marine resources through our mangrove planting programme and via our use of post-consumer recycled (“PCR”) resin derived from ocean-bound plastics in our packaging solutions.
We plant trees and shrubs, including various vulnerable species, within our developments, undertake Environmental Impact Assessments (“EIA”) for property developments exceeding 50 hectares, and contribute to preserving a vital coastal ecosystem through our mangrove planting programme.
We uphold ethical business conduct at all levels and across all jurisdictions where we operate and have adopted a robust Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (“ABAC”) Policy that extends to our employees, suppliers and other stakeholders.
A Robust Framework That Aligns Our Strategy
Our impactful sustainability framework features 11 key focus areas within 3 sustainability pillars. Leveraging on this framework, we are empowered to enhance our overarching governance practices and achieve a collective Group-wide effort towards achieving our sustainability objectives.

Our Activities
Inculcating sustainability values and practices across the community.
Scam Prevention Awareness Talk
In FY2026, we strengthened employees' digital awareness by organising a Scam Prevention Awareness Talk, equipping them with practical knowledge to recognise emerging cyber threats and protect themselves from increasingly sophisticated scams in their daily lives.
Environmental Awareness Talk
In FY2026, we organised an environmental awareness talk for our employees to strengthen their understanding of resource efficiency and the practical actions they can take to reduce unnecessary consumption and wastage.
Supporting Local Youth Development
Through our participation in career fairs, we engage with young talent and promote opportunities under our Management Associate Programme, internship placements and wider career pathways within the Group, reaffirming our commitment to nurturing local talent.
Reducing the Environmental Impact of E-waste
Our previous e-waste recycling drive facilitated the collection and recycling of obsolete electrical equipment, IT devices and household appliances from employees, while promoting awareness of responsible e-waste management.
Empowering Employee Health Journeys
Our Safety and Health Week provides our employees with health screenings and talks on key topics such as safety and health protocols, health management techniques and more, empowering them to take better care of their health, both at work and at home.
Reducing the Environmental Impact of Fabric Waste
Through our fabric recycling initiative, we divert synthetic fabrics from landfill disposal, helping to prevent the release of harmful chemicals and GHG emissions.
Compositing to Complete the Food Cycle
Through our Back to Earth programme, food waste generated at our Shah Alam headquarters is converted into organic fertiliser and donated to local farmers, supporting circular economy practices and contributing to research on sustainable agriculture.
Healing our Planet through Mangrove Planting
We planted over 2,000 mangrove seedlings across Selangor through our four-year mangrove restoration programme. This initiative contributed to natural carbon sequestration, strengthened coastal ecosystems and supported local biodiversity and fishing communities.
Encouraging Recycling Amongst the Young Generation
Our Green Truck Programme, which was developed in collaboration with MPMA and ExxonMobil Chemical in 2020, continues to expand its reach across Peninsular Malaysia, educating more schoolchildren on the importance of plastic recycling and instilling the principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (“3R”) in their everyday lives.
Donating Blood to the Community
We support local healthcare needs through occasional blood donation drives conducted in collaboration with healthcare organisations. These drives are carried out with full safety measures in place, encouraging employee participation and helping to maintain blood supplies for patients in need.
