In a significant initiative for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), BECIS Malaysia and Ideal Property Group are joining forces to drive sustainability initiatives in the newly launched Penang Technology Park@Bertam. Situated in the North Seberang Perai district of Penang, this state-of-the-art industrial park spanning 356 hectares is set to become a global hub for high-tech industries.

With a remarkable gross development value of RM4.2 billion, Penang Technology Park@Bertam will solidify Penang’s status as the Silicon Valley of the East, attracting industries specializing in electronics, electrical, semiconductor, aerospace, medical manufacturing, and more.

“Guided by a shared vision for sustainable industrial development, we aim to establish a transformative benchmark through the partnership, driving positive change and pave the way towards a greener future in the industrial sector,” said Arnaud Dauvillier, Managing Director of BECIS China, Thailand & Malaysia.

Tan Sri Datuk Ooi Kee Liang, the Executive Chairman of Ideal Property Group shared their vision, stating, “Our goal is to integrate sustainable energy solutions seamlessly into Penang Technology Park@Bertam, demonstrating the power of responsible development and environmental stewardship. Together with BECIS Malaysia, we envision a future where sustainable practices become the norm.”

The ESG partnership focuses on delivering sustainable energy solutions to the clients of Penang Technology Park@Bertam, prioritizing environmental well-being alongside operational efficiency. The range of services offered includes rooftop solar solutions, innovative utilization of potential detention ponds for potential large-scale solar installations, optimized cooling solutions through chiller deployment, and other value-added energy solutions. Importantly, these offerings come with the unique benefit of requiring no upfront capital investment. By adopting this approach, the partnership seeks to champion environmental sustainability within the industrial park, while also enabling immediate cost savings for clients. This collaborative effort effectively manages operational risks and contributes to the advancement of a circular economy by moving towards a solutions-based approach for the energy transition.
