TOP 10 in Green Companies does not equate to Top 10 Most Sustainable Companies

The local Klue website last year came up with the Top 10 Greenest Companies in Malaysia. I would really love to know what are the criteria to shortlist the 10 companies. Click here for the full list ->


KLue - Top 10: Green companies with Green initiatives in Malaysia


Congratulations to Digi, Sime Darby, Shell Malaysia, Panasonic Malaysia, YTL Group, MAS, Canon Malaysia, Aeon Co, HP Malaysia and Green Selipar. We hope you will continue to excel in your greening efforts.

At the same time, sdmalaysia would like to reemphasize the point that being green only accounts for 1/3 of the sustainability principles. In this case, Sime Darby is perceived to have failed in the other two dimensions namely profitability and people. 


From the profitability standpoint Sime Darby recently came under spotlight after incurring a whopping RM 1.6 billion (US$489 million) in losses.


The people dimension also shared the same fate. First the former CEO, Ahmad Zubir Murshid and perhaps other employees that will suffer the ripple effect after the announced losses.
