Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 09 December 2024 – Synergy ESCO Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. is making history in the nation’s sustainability journey, achieving monumental progress in energy efficiency and carbon reduction. At its recent event, The Rise of Green ESG, held at Nexus Bangsar South, Synergy ESCO brought together sustainability pioneers from Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Pahang. Supported by Lembaga Perumahan dan Hartanah Selangor (LPHS), Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA), Majlis Bandaraya Subang Jaya (MBSJ), 14 Facilities Management Companies, and COB KL, the event marked a collaborative push toward Malaysia’s Zero Carbon 2050 vision.
Through its innovative Green Initiative Program, Synergy ESCO has onboarded 180 clients and deployed over 600,000 Ultra High Energy Efficiency LED Lights, cutting energy consumption by an estimated 530 million kWh—enough to power 1.5 million Malaysian homes annually. The program also prevents 400,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions, equivalent to saving 10 million trees over the next decade. These LED lights boast industry-leading energy savings of 72%, a lifespan of 34 years under daily use, and near-zero defect rates, significantly reducing electronic waste.
“Synergy ESCO is proud to be at the forefront of Malaysia’s green transformation,” said Mansfield Wong, Chairman and CEO of Unity Group Holdings International Limited. “By implementing cutting-edge solutions and fostering collaboration across sectors, we are proving that sustainability and innovation go hand in hand. This is not just a commitment to the environment, but to the communities we serve.”
Beyond lighting solutions, Synergy ESCO is championing lifestyle changes through its “Green 1 Day Program,” encouraging participants to adopt a weekly plant-based diet. This small change has resulted in a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions linked to dietary choices, signaling a shift from global warming to global cooling.
The company is also redefining urban agriculture with its Shine+ Digital Farming Technology, combining Ultra High Energy Efficiency LED Lights with a Chilled Water System. This innovation delivers 10 times higher yields than traditional methods, uses one-third of the energy compared to current digital farming systems, and produces pesticide-free crops, addressing both food security and sustainability challenges.
As part of a global vision rooted in local action, Synergy ESCO’s parent company, Unity Group Holdings International Limited, a Hong Kong-listed ESG leader, is pursuing a secondary listing on Bursa Malaysia. “We believe the secondary listing would further connect our business focus in Malaysia with local heritage so that we would be able to create value and benefit more effectively for the people in Malaysia,” added Wong. This move underscores their commitment to Malaysia’s sustainability agenda and to delivering tangible value to local communities.
The achievements of Synergy ESCO underline a pivotal moment for Malaysia’s green future, as corporations, local councils, and communities unite to tackle climate change. With its focus on innovation and collaboration, Synergy ESCO is setting a benchmark for how businesses can drive environmental progress while enhancing societal well-being.
