1. Waste Reduction

In Malaysia, PMM is proud to have provided all its employees with scientifically tested reusable masks; produced by urban low-income mothers at Batik Boutique. This has diverted 5,000 disposable masks from landfills and reduced 298kg of polyethylene from the environment and water.

2. Littering Prevention

PMM is also piloting a 9-month cigarette filter canister initiative in partnership with Reef Check Malaysia and Pun-Tong to install 200 cigarette filter canisters at locations which have high incidences of littering across the country. This project is estimated to divert around 2000kg of cigarette litter from the environment.

3. World Clean Up Day 2021

PMM is teaming up with Animal Projects & Environmental Education Malaysia (APE) to pledge 10 trees for EACH employee that participates in the World Clean-up Day 2021 which takes place in September. The long term impact of planting these trees would support APE’s sustainable reforestation efforts in Sabah, support local communities, increase carbon storage and offset PMM’s carbon footprint. So far, we have pledged 4,500 trees thanks to the overwhelming support from our employees!
