FM Group partners with Scania, JAC Motors & Solarvest for ESG progress

Through three key partnerships, integrated logistics provider FM Global Logistics Holdings Bhd (FM Group) is pushing sustainability activities. The company also has ambitions to gradually lower its carbon footprint, improve energy efficiency, and integrate renewable energy sources into its operations.

FM Group is working with Scania Malaysia Sdn Bhd to acquire 20 Scania Super Trucks with the fuel-efficient Euro 5 engines for RM11 million in order to further its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives.

For RM557, 000, FM Group is also purchasing two JAC i75 electric trucks from JAC Motors Malaysia Sdn Bhd. Additionally, FM Group has signed an agreement with Solarvest Energy Sdn Bhd to install solar systems at its warehouses, which would cost RM1.5 million.

“We are collaborating and partnering with not one but three well-established organisations, namely, Scania, a leader in sustainable transport solutions, Solarvest Malaysia, a leading clean energy expert that provides total integrated solar solutions, and JAC Motors, an internationally trusted, innovative, and reliable automotive solutions company.

“These investments in green technology will assist FM Group, especially with compliance to regulatory standards, in the coming years,” FM Group managing director Chew Chong Keat said.

Concurrent ceremonies were organized by FM Group to sign a letter of award (LoA) with JAC Motors, give the letter of award (LoA) to Solarvest, and hand over the first six Scania Super trucks. Chew said the partnerships between FM Group’s wholly owned subsidiary, FM Global Logistics Sdn Bhd, with the three companies serve to deepen FM Group’s commitment to its ESG agenda.
