| “PowerSeraya had its very own Earth Hour Initiative on 31 March 2008 when the office lights at HarbourFront Towers were switched off for an hour during lunchtime.”
PowerSeraya regards the community as one of its important stakeholders and has organised several activities to engage them on environmental issues. We also support environmental causes by sponsoring conferences, talks and seminars, as well as donating to environmental NGOs and schools.
These activities which the company supports or organises aim to raise environmental awareness among the general public. It is also presents opportunities for us to share with the community about our business and how we deal with the environmental impacts of plant operations. This way, the community has a better understanding of how we deal with the day-to-day environmental issues and our role in climate-change action.
In FY06/07 to FY07/08, PowerSeraya invested in a number of environmental and social events to raise environmental awareness and to contribute back to society through our support of social causes. FY07/08 saw a 270% increase in community investments over FY06/07, thanks to greater management’s commitment towards environmental initiatives with the establishment of the Environmental Department in FY06/07.
