Value Creation Is The Bedrock Of Our Business ANNUAL INTEGRATED REPORT 2022 97 Sustainability Review CLIMATE AWARENESS The national essay competition that was held in 2021 was part of FGV’s SMART4Climate programme component and in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Water (KASA). The objective was to encourage members of the public to express their thoughts on the country’s role in mitigating and adapting to the adverse impacts of climate change. The competition was divided into four categories, which included public and student entries, as well as essays in Bahasa Melayu and English. It saw 170 essay submissions from both the public and student categories, demonstrating that the competition was an impactful initiative accepted by Malaysians to provide climate change solutions. The final round of essays was judged by a climate change expert, who selected 20 entries as winners. The closing ceremony, which was held in 2022, was to give recognition and appreciation to all participants who had succeeded in the competition. The winners’ quotes were shared through our social media postings to raise awareness on climate change. Our Climate Change Essay Competition provided a platform for the public to express their thoughts on how to combat climate change and build a sustainable future.
