The ESG Sustainability Programme, held on 21 June 2025 at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FKM), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, brought together staff, students, and industry partners for a meaningful day dedicated to environmental awareness, community engagement, and sustainable practices. Organized in collaboration with Wentel Engineering Sdn. Bhd., the programme aimed to strengthen understanding of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles while encouraging the campus community to adopt sustainable habits in an engaging and interactive way.
The programme began with Senaman Lestari, a light exercise session accompanied by traditional music that created a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Participants enjoyed moving together in rhythm, setting a positive tone for the day while fostering a sense of togetherness among the FKM community.
One of the most exciting activities was the Treasure Hunt Lestari, where teams worked together to solve sustainability-themed clues hidden around the campus area. The activity encouraged teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving while subtly introducing environmental awareness in a fun, memorable way.
A highlight of the programme was the tree-planting session, symbolizing the faculty’s commitment to environmental responsibility. Participants worked together to plant trees around the campus, reinforcing the idea that small actions can contribute to a greener future.
The event also featured an ESG sharing session by representatives from Wentel Engineering, who highlighted the growing importance of ESG values in industry and future workforce development. Officially launched by the Dean of FKM, Prof. Ir. Ts. Dr. Zaini bin Ahmad, the programme successfully fostered collaboration, strengthened community spirit, and inspired participants to embrace sustainability in their daily lives.
