Toxic Emissions & Waste

FOOD TO PLANET:

TNB EMBRACES SUSTAINABLE FOOD MANAGEMENT

Food waste poses a significant national challenge in Malaysia. A recent report by the
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) revealed that Malaysians discard a
staggering 8.3 million metric tonnes of food annually. Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) is
taking an initiative exemplified by our actions during a recent Hari Raya gathering that
serves as a springboard for TNB’s broader commitment to responsible consumption.
This initiative supports the reduction of non-hazardous waste, specifically by tackling
food waste, a major contributor in TNB’s operations. By addressing food waste, we aim
to create a ripple effect that inspires broader behavioural change across the nation,
tackling a significant national challenge.
