The Tasek Green Committee (“TGC”), comprising a group of employee volunteers who are the Green Sustainability Champions, from different business functions at Tasek Berhad Corporation, was set up in 2021 to inculcate the sustainability culture at Tasek through environmental education and green initiatives.

Believing that every individual can have a positive impact on the environment based on the daily decisions they make, the TGC rolled out several green initiatives over the past year including tree-planting, paper recycling, partnering Perak’s Department of Environment on an e-waste campaign and setting up a community garden at the workplace.

At the recent Cleaning and Tree-Planting Day organised at Tasek, the Tasek Green Sustainability Champions went picking up around the office compound and managed to collect 30kg of litter for the day. 22 Green Sustainability Champions also spent 3 hours planting 30 saplings for the event.

Another initiative rolled out was the Nasi Lemak cum Teh Tarik Giveaway lunch event, encouraging Tasekians to use their own cutlery and reduce usage of plastic disposables, which had overwhelming support from the employees. For the giveaway lunch, the nasi lemak sets were wrapped in bio-degradeable banana leaves for its environmental sustainability. The activities were just one of many green initiatives held to educate and instil habits for sustainable living at Tasek.
