ENCORP BERHAD TAPS FRIM EXPERTISE TO INTEGRATE REFORESTATION SCIENCE INTO ESG ROADMAP

KEPONG, April 20 (Bernama) -- Encorp Berhad (ENCORP) has initiated a specialised environmental programme in collaboration with the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), launching a dedicated tree-planting project at the institute’s campus in Kepong.

The initiative took place at the FRIM Forest Park Selangor, recently recognised as Malaysia’s sixth UNESCO World Heritage Site. Under the guidance of FRIM’s researchers, ENCORP employees planted 20 indigenous forest species. This collaboration prioritises long-term monitoring and high-survival rates, ensuring each sapling contributes meaningfully to the biodiversity of this globally recognised conservation site. 

This event serves as a practical "field lab" for the ENCORP team. By working alongside FRIM researchers, the Group aims to integrate these high-survival indigenous species into the landscapes of its residential and commercial projects, ensuring that future residents benefit from genuine biodiversity. 

Ahmad Harzimi bin Mohd Taib, Group Chief Executive Officer of Encorp Berhad, said, 

“As ENCORP enters its next chapter of growth, we are guided by the values that have shaped our first 25 years, resilience and responsibility. Our tree-planting project at FRIM’s national heritage site contributes directly to restoring indigenous forest species and protecting the environment. In a world where progress often erodes nature, we hope our actions inspire others to take meaningful steps towards a sustainable future”. 

ENCORP continues to advance its sustainability efforts through its Green Ventures arm which applies expertise in plantation infrastructure, land clearing, site preparation and logistics to projects such as palm oil replanting. This approach leverages the Group’s capabilities as a builder to support environmental restoration and responsible land management.  

The event is also part of a refreshed 2026 sustainability roadmap that prioritizes employee volunteerism and quality-over-quantity environmental actions. It follows ENCORP’s ongoing spirit of muafakat and to embody the ideals of an “Enlightened Corporation.”
