MATTERS TENAGA NASIONAL BERHAD Integrated Annual Report 2023 94 ENVIRONMENT One highly effective method of conserving the environment is tree planting, a simple yet impactful action that creates awareness and contributes significantly to reducing the accumulation of greenhouse gases. In 2023, we continued in our tree-planting endeavour through the My Brighter Green Programme, in conjunction with TNB’s 74th anniversary. This initiative spanned the entirety of the TNB Group, with over 74,000 trees strategically planted across 42 designated areas throughout Malaysia in FY2023. Furthermore, in 2023, TNB actively participated in cleaning activities at local beaches, such as Pantai Desaru, Johor Bahru. This effort was conducted in collaboration with the Department of Environment (DOE) underscoring TNB’s dedication to environmental stewardship and community partnership. Additionally, Grid Division collaborated with the Malaysia NatureSociety (MNS) and Bentong Forestry Department on a tree planting programme at Janda Baik, Pahang in October 2023, spanning across three (3) acres of forest land. We also partner with other key stakeholders such as the Sahabat Alam Sungai Tampik NGO, Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), State Forestry Departments, UiTM Shah Alam and TNB Research Sdn. Bhd. on initiatives aimed at preserving forests and protecting endangered tree species. My Brighter Green Programme In 2023, our contributions to environmentally related corporate responsibility programmes amounted to RM1.48 million, reflecting our commitment to fostering eco-friendly practices, biodiversity conservation and community involvement in environmental stewardship.
