Bringing new life to our to our townships
We are delighted to share that our efforts to enrich the biodiversity, sustainability and liveability of our townships and developments has already yielded promising results.
Our sustainable initiatives are focused on three core pillars:
THIRD PILLAR
Social Management Plan
We share our love of nature with our communities and partners. That is why we initiated the GParks Rangers and GParks Youth programme under the GParks Academy. In this way, we strive to foster greener lifestyles by reaching out to 5,000 Malaysians, while nurturing 10,000 GParks Rangers and Youth to instill environmental awareness and appreciation in the next generation.
GParks Rangers Program
We have introduced a number of programmes to court public support and awareness. Abiding by the popular adage, “You are never too young to learn, never too old to change”, we have enlisted children to actively promote good environmental practices. Known as GParks Rangers, these young ambassadors will enjoy exclusive privileges and access to our nature programs and workshops.
