S P Setia Foundation, the charity arm of S P Setia Bhd, held its Sincerely, Setia Special Celebration World Environment Day 2024 recently at Setia EcoHill with students from Setia-adopted schools.

Up to 60 students from Sekolah Kebangsaan Semenyih, Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Kampung Baru Semenyih, Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Tampoi and Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Tamil) Ladang Rinching attended the fun and educational event.

"Since 2000, we are constantly looking for ways to reinvent our sustainable and social responsibility, and to drive positive change, and through this event - with our collaboration with the stakeholders — we hope the students have gain an enlightening educational session in sustainability," said Setia Foundation's management committee and Setia's senior executive vice president Datuk Yuslina Mohd Yunus at the event.

Setia Foundation's management committee and Setia's GM of group brand marketing and communications Adelene Wong said: "We have championed our initiatives to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), guided by our Trust Deeds. This is an important platform for us to further spearhead our sustainability efforts, especially for adopted school students under our Setia Caring School Programme."

"We are grateful that this event is supported and sponsored by our valued sponsors to enhance the students' overall experience, and to impart immeasurable lessons in sustainability," she added.

Activities for the day were organised by Me Books, a children's book publisher, with support from ACE Education Group. Ivan Se Hoo Kien Weng, principal of Dwi Emas International School under the ACE Education Group, together with a few teachers led the breakout group in the activities which included water densities and eco-painting, filtration experiments, a storytelling session, creation of posters and canvas momentos, with plenty of goodie bag giveaways.
