Celebrating Environmental Day with Hume Cement
Date: 5th June 2022
In celebration of Environmental Day on 5th June 2022, Hume Cement (HCIB) had the privilege of inviting Puan Nazatul Aini Binti Hairoman, Assistant Director of Solid Waste 2 from Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya, to deliver an insightful talk on recycling. Alongside this, HCIB organized a series of activities to commemorate this special day and further engage employees in environmental efforts.
Kickstarting the Day with Awareness and Fun
The day began with an informative ‘Toolbox Talk’, where employees gathered for a safety briefing. This was followed by an engaging Environmental Quiz, where participants competed for a chance to win exciting gifts and hampers on the spot!
Tree Planting for a Greener Future
Following the quiz, employees rolled up their sleeves for a tree-planting session in the quarry and plant area. With teamwork and enthusiasm, colleagues from all levels came together to plant a variety of fruit trees, including mango, rambutan, and star fruit. The smiles and laughter echoed around as everyone thoroughly enjoyed the activity. This initiative aligns with the Malaysian Government’s 100 Million Tree-Planting Campaign (2020-2025), launched as part of the Greening Malaysia Programme, which aims to foster a greener future for the nation.
Community Engagement through Gotong-Royong
The excitement didn’t end there! Employees continued the day with a ‘Gotong-Royong’ (community clean-up) session around Lakeview Kampar. A dedicated group of 22 employees worked together to clean the park, picking up rubbish and ensuring the area remains beautiful and enjoyable for the local community.
A Day Well-Spent for the Environment
With a strong spirit of teamwork and environmental responsibility, the activities of the day helped reinforce HCIB’s commitment to sustainability and community well-being. The efforts made on this day are just a small part of our ongoing journey to protect the environment and contribute to the betterment of our surroundings.
