The project with NEFIN in Malaysia further builds on Mondelēz International's existing targets set in 2020, developed to contribute to combatting climate change.
Carbon neutrality solutions provider, NEFIN Group announced its partnership with global snacking giant, Mondelēz International (Malaysia) to install solar panels on the roof of its manufacturing plants in Shah Alam, Selangor and Prai, Pulau Pinang. Having pioneered several industrial rooftop solar systems for multinational companies across Asia Pacific, the partnership is set to accelerate Mondelēz's sustainability efforts by reducing its environmental impact through renewable energy.
"These manufacturing plants in Shah Alam and Prai are NEFIN's first two photovoltaic installation projects with Mondelēz International in Malaysia, after our first successful partnership with Mondelēz International (Thailand) in Lad Krabang. Talks for other similar projects in Southeast Asia are under way, and we are working closely with Mondelēz to achieve sustainability in their manufacturing plants," says Mr. Chong Bor Hung, NEFIN Group's Head of Business Development and Managing Director (Malaysia).
The project with NEFIN in Malaysia further builds on Mondelēz International's existing targets set in 2020, developed to contribute to combatting climate change. The installation of 1,266 solar panels at the Shah Alam plant and 1,754 solar panels in Prai aims to offset 29,000 tons of CO2 over the next 25 years, equivalent to planting around 146,800 trees. Accumulatively, the plants are estimated to produce 1.8 million kWh of energy in the first year alone, with the company potentially saving up to RM11.18 million over the 25 years period.
