Good News for our Primary School students! Scania Malaysia has established a fund to motivate and assist primary schools in Malaysia start up curricular activities, extra-curricular activities or projects that focus on sustainability. The “Master Sustainability By Scania” fund will be carried out by Scania Malaysia and will be continuously funded  by a portion of sales revenue of Scania vehicles sold here in Malaysia. 

This is all the more reason for  you transport people to keep on supporting Scania trucks and buses here, of course, aside from the fact that their trucks and buses are of high quality in the first place. Now, you can also support the growth of our future - in our youth and also the creastion of these individuals as future sustainability leaders. 

With Scania Malaysia  making this fund available to primary schools, they are now calling on these schools in Malaysia to share their ideas for sustainability. These ideas or proposals will then be evaluated to get support by the fund.

Explaining the purpose of the fund further,  Managing Director of Scania Southeast Asia, Marie Sjödin Enström said, “For Scania, doing the right things and doing things right is key. We can achieve a sustainable

transport system and a responsible business by contributing to economic and social development without jeopardising human health and safety or endangering the environment.”

“The world population currently faces challenges with regard to climate and resources. This will have a tremendous impact on future generations which is why we should begin to change the ways in which we view our industries and lifestyles. One way of doing so is by facilitating the growth and nurture of young students to master sustainability” added Marie.

She also stated that today’s young generation possesses vigour, awareness and creativity which provides them with greater potential to become future sustainability leaders. This fund by Scania was created to inspire and support their growth in sustainability. As such, Scania Malaysia is calling on primary schools in the country to share their ideas with us on ways to save Mother Earth.

“We want to nurture tomorrow’s sustainability leaders today with a long term goal to continue building awareness of sustainability. What better way than to support the ideas of the young who are already setting the global trends and are aware of the need to address how we interact with the environment.” Marie further commented on the creation of the fund. 

Schools are invited to submit their sustainability project and/or activity ideas by emailing Scania Malaysia at smyenquries@scania.com.
