IOI Corporation Berhad has always been a strong advocator in promoting climate actions. We have continuously supported the global Earth Hour movement since 2009 and designated the month of March every year for IOI Earth Month campaign. To reinforce our corporate commitment, we also spearheaded IOI Climate Change Action initiative ("CCAi") in 2019 and set a Group-wide target to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emission by 2040.
Currently in its 12th edition, this year’s IOI Earth Month campaign themed “Protecting Our Future Together”, calls for collective action across all levels in the Group to dedicate our time and energy to tackling the climate crisis and protecting Mother Nature for our future generations.
In line with the above, we organised a series of eco-activities for the IOI family to come together and participate throughout the month, such as a meatless cook-off challenge, a two-minute station game on IOI’s UN SDG commitment, a panel discussion on “IOI’s Pathway To Net Zero” and a recurring swap project. These activities had been designed to promote a zero-waste culture and encourage the participants to instil a sustainable lifestyle.
“We are excited to inspire and empower our people to make a real impact in mitigating climate change,” said IOI Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Dato’ Lee Yeow Chor. “Beyond the campaign, I believe we can continue to adopt good habits to reduce our personal carbon footprint. No matter how small a step, it makes a difference as long as we are taking the lead towards a greener lifestyle.”
