Greening our buildings, one at a time
Posted by JLow on Jun 9, 2010
Taking a quick break from the series on the IVLP visits, here’s a quick update on our internal efforts on greening the organisation.
I had posted before that we had begun engaging our internal folks on green efforts. In the meantime we had also started a program of encouraging and showcasing departments and/or buildings that are practising green activities. We thought to target departments whose building(s) are isolated or “stand-alone” enough- one that has its own, not-shared utility bills for easy monitoring and measuring.
We thought of the Malaysia Airlines Academy, at Kelana Jaya. It fits the above loose-criteria, and there are already departments which are practising some efforts in being responsible.
We held a quick meeting with them to introduce this effort and to get their participation- it wasn’t too hard to get them on board, they were already very keen and were already doing some conservation activities. After the meeting I had a quick tour and spotted this already along their corridor.
Recycled bins for recycling use!
Good to see.
Yesterday we had a follow up meeting with them, to finalise the program, and to discuss officially launching it complete with means of measuring the efforts over the following 3 months.
After the meeting I went “spying” again, and spotted this.
Good to see the level of participation
GOOD TO SEE GOOD TO SEE 
We will naturally share the progress of this program, and look into expanding it to include other departments and building / facilities.
Is your department as responsible?
