The PERNEC ‘Green Day Every Day’ CSR initiative was launched on 29 January 2010, officially marking PERNEC’s commitment to promote environmental awareness and adopt a more environmentally responsible workplace.

In his speech, new PERNEC Group Managing Director, Encik Abdul Karim Abdul Sallam said the main objectives of the PERNEC ‘Green Day Every Day’ campaign was to encourage staff to love and protect our environment by taking positive steps towards GOING GREEN in the workplace. He added the campaign would also encourage creativity among the staff as they sought ways to reduce wastage. Encik Karim pledged to do his part by going paperless and ensuring not a single sheet of paper be seen at his work table, adding he hoped he could lead by example.

Later he invited the CEOs present to water a potted plant that was brought on-stage as a symbolic gesture of their commitment to the ‘Green Day Every Day’ campaign.

As a part of this campaign, all staff were given a new lanyard and ‘Green Day Every Day’ sticker as a constant reminder to be more productive and concerned about the environment. Staff also pledged to work hand in hand to create a healthy office environment and etiquette.

This was the first time PERNEC staff had the opportunity to gather as one under the same roof to witness the launching of a CSR campaign while getting to know the new Group Managing Director. For Encik Karim, this was the first internal event he officiated at as PERNEC’s new head.

Others who attended the PERNEC ‘Green Day Every Day’ launch were CEO of PERNEC Telco, Encik Dzulkifli Muhamad; CEO of PERNEC IT, Encik Zalman Zulkifli and CEO of PERNEC PayPoint, Y.M. Tengku Asmaludin as well as other senior managers
