EKOVEST BERHAD
ANNUAL REPORT 2014
The Group recognizes its social obligation to society and is striving for a balanced approach in fulfilling its key objectives
and the expectations of its stakeholders. Ekovest Group is actively involved in various programmes that would benefit the
community around us.
We believe education is an investment for our future generation. In line with our core expertise in construction activities, we
have been working closely with various schools and have assisted and contributed towards the improvement of infrastructure
available in these schools. During the financial year, contributions were made to various schools to assist them in fulfilling
their programme to improve the infrastructure, teaching aids and the well-being of its students.
In our efforts to promote sustainability and care for the environment, we have also considered and embedded certain
environmental benchmarks in the conceptual master plan of our property development projects. During the year, we have
met the criteria and EkoCheras has been certified under Green Building Index. This is a key step for our other developments
to emulate and to ensure that our Group promotes the efficient use of resources as well as reduce building impact on health
and the environment.
We have also sponsored several studies in an effort to educate the public on environmental matters impacting the use of
expressways as well as on a transportation master plan to improve the integration and planning between roads and public
transportation such as the commuter and light rail transit. We are hopeful that these studies will be a useful tool for
stakeholders to rely upon in fulfilling their objectives.
The Group is committed and will carry on its efforts further to enhance our corporate social responsibilities in order to
provide a meaningful contribution to the community around us and to promote a sustainable and eco-friendly
development.
