SEMINAR ON ESG 👍👍👏👏🙏
Some of our Family Wellness Club members attended the Seminar on ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) for community sustainability held this morning (Saturday, 18/04/26) at the Haven All Suites Resort in Ipoh.

Thank you to the OC Chairman Dr.Richard Ng and his team from the Lions Club Perak Silver State for a well organised and informative programme.

The first speaker, Mr.Peter Chan, the CEO of the Haven All Suites Resort described how at the Haven, they have all the while adopted and complied with ESG in all sectors. For example, in the building of the Haven, not a single tree or limestone rock or pond in the area was demolished.

The next two speakers, Mr.Baldev Singh and Dr.Lidyana Roslan from NOVUS, an organisation focusing on ESG, shared about the risks from global warming and climate change, and why we need to be proactive now.

After the Seminar, participants were taken on a 600m walking tour around the Haven Resorts' well kept 'green lung', and got to see the 280 million year old limestone rock, the natural lake and trees, etc ..around which Haven was built.
And the 600m walking track was made to be wheel chair friendly too!!

As World Environment Day approaches, such Seminars and nature walks help to create awareness on ESG for community sustainability.
Once again, well done to the organisers and the speakers 👏👏👏🙏
