Sustainable Green Action Plans by PKT
Our Roadmap to a Sustainable Future
It has been 15 years of rethinking our business through the Sustainability lens since PKT’s 2008 transformation programme with our initial core focus on 4 CSR pillars namely – Community Development, Education & Skills Enhancement, Arts & Culture, Sports & Recreation.
In our recent bid to champion climate and environmental resilience, we have pledged to achieve Net-Zero Carbon Emissions by 2039 and strongly support the global clarion call in the race to net zero emissions. We remain steadfast in our commitment to lead the charge in the sustainability revolution as time is of the essence in achieving the SDGs by 2030.
Let us now continue our mission to make a positive impact in safeguarding our surrounding environment, communities and stakeholders, in the present and for generations to come. Together, we can save the world!

GREEN ACTION PLAN 01
LEAN Before MEAN
Adopting a lean and efficient approach before Managing our Environmental Agenda Needs (MEAN).
To enhance our performance, our initial focus should be on eradicating resource wastage, addressing defects, and, most importantly, eliminating non-value-adding activities from our processes.
Scope 1
Reduce truck CO2 emissions by Round Use Container.
Scope 2
Automatic lighting controls with motion sensors, time control and dimmable lights.
Scope 3
Incentivising our employees with a RM5 meal voucher to be used at our cafes for a carpool of four persons. Supports sustainable transportation, reduces traffic and promotes a
greener future.
GREEN ACTION PLAN 02
Smart Eco-Warehouse
Ensuring that all our warehouses are GBI Gold Certified.
Green building certification is applied to the entire life cycle of our buildings and warehouses from the planning and design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation to eventual demolition phases.
the lighthouse : the first Green Building Index (GBI) Gold-certified warehouse in Malaysia
The Lighthouse, located in Shah Alam, Selangor has built-in solar panels to generate green energy. It is also equipped with energy-saving LED lighting systems, a rainwater harvesting system for general usage, translucent sheets and aluminum louvers to bring in natural daylight and improve airflow in the warehouses.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System
We have set up Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems on our car park roofs and buildings to convert sunlight into electricity. This helps us save and use solar energy in our daily operations.
Rainwater Harvesting System
We have established a rainwater harvesting system at The Lighthouse, collecting rainwater to be utilised for general cleaning and watering our premises’ plants.
Natural Lighting
Translucent sheets have been placed on the warehouses to bring in natural daylight, brightening the area and reducing artificial lighting usage.
Natural Ventilation
Natural ventilation has been produced in warehouses with numerous aluminum louvers, promoting indirect light and airflow. Combined with effective roof insulation, the indoor temperature remains cooler than outside during the day.
GREEN ACTION PLAN 03
Vehicle Electrification Programme
A comprehensive plan aimed at promoting and accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) within our organisation.
Transition of company trucks and cars from traditional fossil fuel-powered to electric vehicles (EVs).
Promote staff adoption of EVs by installing charging stations within our premises.
GREEN ACTION PLAN 04
Replanting T(h)ree for One
Our proactive and responsible approach to managing our natural resources while addressing environmental concerns.
For every tree used to construct our warehouses, we will replant 3 trees. PKT is committed to making positive contributions to the environment.
= Net Positive Trees planted.
GREEN ACTION PLAN 05
Net-Positive Paper Recycling
A sustainable paper recycling initiative through digitalising our operations, designed to have a positive environmental and social impact.
For every 1 kg of paper used, we will recycle 3 kgs – towards a positive environment impact. From protecting forests to curbing climate, recycled paper use is essential for sustainability.
Net positive paper recycling
PKT strives to have a positive impact on the environment concerning paper consumption and recycling.
commitment to Reducing Paper Usage
This commitment is a proactive step toward minimising the environmental impact associated with paper production and disposal.
Our pledge and targets are related to managing scope emissions in the context of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
PKT targets to achieve Net-Zero Carbon Emissions by 2025 for Scope 2.
Scope 2 emissions are the greenhouse gases produced indirectly when we use electricity or energy from external sources, such as power companies.
PKT targets to achieve Net-Zero Carbon Emissions by 2030 for Scope 1.
Scope 1 emissions are the greenhouse gases that come directly from our own activities, and they contribute to our organisation's carbon footprint.
PKT targets to achieve Net-Zero Carbon Emissions by 2039 for Scope 3.
Scope 3 emissions are greenhouse gases we produce indirectly through activities beyond our control, such as making products and disposal.
