Perodua has given its green initiative a boost with the recent soft launch of Laman Hijau, representing its commitment towards green and sustainable operations. Located within its headquarters and manufacturing campus in Sungai Choh, Laman Hijau is an open recreational area for staff that incorporates greenery and fountains powered by solar electricity.
“This green initiative includes the installation of solar panels on the roofs of our manufacturing facilities, which we will further install on most of the buildings within our campus. Our new staff locker room facility, named Lemari, also makes use of a green wall for natural insulation,” said Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad.
Perodua’s 400-acre (162-hectare) campus comprises a corporate building, a research and development facility, two vehicle manufacturing facilities, a parts centre, a training centre and a children’s day care centre.
Perodua’s green initiative began in June 2017 with the announcement of its ECO Garden, set to be launched next month. The 1,500 square-metre garden utilises recycled waste materials in its construction, solar energy and a diverse variety of plants and trees, amongst others.
The President and CEO explained that apart from environmental sustainability, the green initiative also includes continuous safety and operational improvements to ensure everything moves harmoniously within the Perodua Group.
Perodua is Malaysia’s No 1 Energy-Efficient Vehicle (EEV) manufacturer, having produced and sold over 650,000 EEVs to date, including the Axia, Bezza, third-generation Myvi and Aruz seven-seater SUV.
