12 March 2025 – Water Watch Penang organised our first Aquasave Awareness Education Programme for Penang Green Office Certification with CLPG Packaging Industries Sdn. Bhd, Bukit Minyak, Pulau Pinang. The programme was held from 10:00am to 11:30am with a total participation of 2 staff.
The Aqua Save Awareness Education Programme is a free lecture provided by Water Watch Penang in partnership with the Penang Green Council (PGC) and the Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) for firms and industries that have registered for the Penang Green Office Accreditation. The scheme began in 2009, is a PBAPP effort in partnership with the Penang State Government to acknowledge industries and organisations that are devoted to water conservation measures.
Therefore, the goal of the talk is to create a deeper knowledge for corporate workers and empower them on the importance of being water- smart in their operations. The talk also seeks to help personnel work towards achieving the certification based on the criteria.
Executive Manager, Dr Hong hosted the event by introducing Water Watch Penang’s mission and vision and highlighting the global crisis for better water management practices. The programme continued with Dr Hong describing water audit methods, whilst emphasising the components of water audit – including how to perform water audits and minimise water usage in the workplaces, offices, and residences.
The team had an interesting discussion with the attendees as they shared their achievements and their success stories of implementing water conservation techniques in the office – such as installing their own rainwater harvesting systems for their office.
We look forward to more opportunities with CLPG Industries Sdn. Bhd. as they move towards being a water-smart industry.
