Perodua is taking another step in going green by introducing an Eco Park within its 500-acre campus in Rawang, Selangor as part of its commitment towards the environment.<\/p>\n
The Eco Park, which is located at the centre of its main manufacturing facility will include a small farm which the company will use hydroponics to grow produce and a green rest area for the staff.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur aim is to further improve on our operations to be environmentally friendly as possible and the final goal is to be a totally \u2018green\u2019 auto company,\u201d Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer, Datuk (Dr) Aminar Rashid Salleh said.<\/p>\n
All electrical needs of this park will utilise solar power and rechargeable battery packs to ensure no carbon footprint is left behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition, all building materials in the Perodua Eco Park will be sourced from waste materials from its manufacturing facility using the \u201creduce, re-use and recycle\u201d method.<\/p>\n
The Perodua Eco Park measures 1500 square metres and costs approximately RM300,000 to build. The park is expected to be completed by October 2017.<\/p>\n
The announcement of the Perodua Eco Park was done at the Perodua Eco Month, 2017 which was officiated on 1 June 2017 by Datuk (Dr) Aminar, Mr Masanori Takahashi (President of Perodua Auto Corporation Sdn Bhd) and YBhg Datuk Ahmad Suhaimi Hashim (President of Perodua Global Manufacturing Sdn Bhd).<\/p>\n
The entire event is organised by the Perodua Safety, Health and Environment department.<\/p>\n
The purpose of the Perodua Eco Month 2017 is to create awareness about the \u201creduce, re-use and recycle\u201d concept to all 10,500 Peroduans on a group basis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAside from promoting a cleaner and healthier environment, this practice will also reduce, if not, eliminate wastages in our operations,\u201d Aminar said.<\/p>\n
Among the activities planned include talks on best environment practices, competitions (such as creative recycling competition and a quiz about environment) and a recycle collection competition.<\/p>\n
