Sinohydro marks Environment Day with beach cleanup

In a proactive effort to promote environmental sustainability, Sinohydro Corporation (M) Sdn. Bhd. (Sinohydro) successfully organized a beach cleaning activity at Jeram Beach on June 4th. The event, held from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., saw the enthusiastic participation of 17 dedicated colleagues who banded together to make a tangible impact on the local environment.

Armed with trash pickers, trash bags, and a strong sense of community, the volunteers combed through the beach, collecting a significant amount of plastic waste and other debris. The collected PET bottles were responsibly disposed of in recycle bins, ensuring that they will be processed and reused, rather than contributing to the growing problem of ocean pollution.

This initiative is part of Sinohydro’s ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement. By organizing this beach cleanup just days before World Environment Day on June 5, the company aims to raise awareness about the critical importance of preserving our oceans and marine ecosystems.

Commitment to Environmental Stewardship

Mr. Zhou Jiayi, Managing Director of Sinohydro and President of PowerChina Asia Pacific, expressed his gratitude to the participants and emphasized the significance of such activities: “Today’s beach cleaning activity is a small but important step in our continuous effort to contribute positively to the environment. I am incredibly proud of our team’s dedication and spirit.”

Reflecting Sinohydro’s slogan, “Building a sustainable future,” the company encourages its colleagues to adopt the “3R Sustainability Concept” which is “Reduce-Reuse-Recycle.” This philosophy underpins the company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, driving its commitment to sustainable practices.

By participating in such initiatives, Sinohydro hopes to inspire other organizations and individuals to join the cause and make a difference. As part of its ESG initiatives, Sinohydro plans to continue organizing similar environmental activities in the future. The company believes that through consistent efforts and collaboration, meaningful progress can be made in the fight against environmental degradation.

In the recent cleanup, the Sinohydro Malaysia team collected a total of 226 PET bottles, helping to save approximately 4,931 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2). This significant effort underscores the company’s dedication to reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices.
