Must read

Sarawak Energy’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives was recently recognised with a Gold Award at the 15th Annual Global CSR & ESG Summit & Awards 2023 in Da Nang, Vietnam.

Sarawak Energy – Malaysia’s largest renewable energy developer and Sarawak’s primary power utility received the Gold Award for its “Batang Ai Education Fund” initiative under the ‘Best Community Programme’ category.

Launched in 2018, the Batang Ai Education Fund aligns with Sarawak Energy’s commitment to social investment, with a focus on improving educational opportunities and socio[1]economic prospects for young individuals in rural Sarawak, particularly in Batang Ai – the location of the state’s first hydropower project.

Since its inception, the fund has assisted 235 students from Batang Ai by providing them with a one-time incentive to kickstart their tertiary education journey.

In addition to the Batang Ai Education Fund, Sarawak Energy has also launched various educational initiatives and provided support to its adopted schools in Batang Ai since 2013.

Through the “Jalinan Mesra Peribumi” Programme, Sarawak Energy collaborated with the Sarawak Campus of the Teachers Education Institute and local District Education Offices to conduct educational workshops.

These workshops are thoughtfully crafted to empower schools in rural locations and extend beyond classroom instruction by incorporating motivational talks for both teachers and parents.

Over the past two years, this programme has benefitted about 450 students across 10 schools in Batang Ai.
