LEADING a green lifestyle is not an alien concept for Genting as it has always been the priority of its founder, the late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong. After his demise, his legacy continues to live on as the company begins to heighten its involvement with activities that help preserve the environment.
The heartfelt message was conveyed by Resorts World Bhd executive vice-president, Kevin Sim during the official launch of the Genting Goes Green project and logo recently.
Natural Resources and Environ-ment Minister Datuk Douglas Uggah Embas was guest of honour at the event. He was accompanied by the Department of Environment director-general Datuk Rosnani Ibrahim.
In his speech, Embas applauded RWB for its environment-friendly efforts and for obtaining ISO 140001 & OHSAS 18001 certification from SIRIM. The fundamental programmes of the project are based on its Environment, Health and Safety Policy which involves the optimisation of resources, recycling and reduction of waste, besides employing the best ways to lessen risks and ill health, while encouraging human resource development in training.
The resort has carried out a number of projects and programmes that are environmental-friendly, including the proper consumption of water, electricity and disposal of waste.
According to Sim, the resort has so far managed to cut a total of five per cent of its monthly water consumption after setting up a flow restrictor to some of the water supply taps and bidets.
Other steps taken are reducing the volume of water in the cistern tanks and monitoring the condition of pipes.
The resort has also employed schemes that will reduce electricity usage such as revising the use of energy during non-peak periods and by installing variable speed drives to reduce energy consumed by motors.
