PLUS Commits To Net Zero Goal By 2050, 35% Reduction By 2030

PLUS Malaysia Berhad (PLUS), Malaysia's main highway operator, makes a big step towards furthering sustainability by committing to a 2050 Net Zero Goal that is consistent with national goals on World Environment Day. This includes an interim goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its operations by 35% by 2030 compared to a 2017 baseline.

This comes on the heels of their recent achievement of cutting 25% of its energy use with the implementation of energy-efficient measures such as LED light upgrading and capturing renewable energy through the placement of solar panels at PLUS offices and highway R&Rs. This has resulted in PLUS receiving numerous national and regional energy recognitions and prizes. Building on the momentum of this significant achievement, PLUS intends to strengthen its support for the nation's 2050 Net Zero Goal by optimising the use of renewable energy, implementing low-carbon mobility practices, utilising nature-based solutions, and promoting a circular economy mindset.

PLUS Managing Director, Datuk Nik Airina Nik Jaffar highlighted, “As Malaysia’s largest highway operator, we believe in pioneering sustainability to advance the highway industry. Committing to a net zero goal will drive us towards innovation and collaboration which will contribute towards nation-building.”

She further emphasized, “To realize our mission statement in connecting communities to shape a safe and sustainable future, we are committed to operate in an environmentally conscious and socially responsible manner while upholding good governance.”

This month, PLUS will release its Sustainability Report, which will provide thorough transparency of the company's ongoing commitment to developing sustainable futures.
