Bringing sustainable energy solutions to Penang Technology Park@Bertam

In a significant initiative for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), BECIS Malaysia and Ideal Property Group are joining forces to drive sustainability initiatives in the newly launched Penang Technology Park@Bertam. Situated in the North Seberang Perai district of Penang, this state-of-the-art industrial park spanning 356 hectares is set to become a global hub for high-tech industries.

With a remarkable gross development value of RM4.2 billion, Penang Technology Park@Bertam will solidify Penang’s status as the Silicon Valley of the East, attracting industries specializing in electronics, electrical, semiconductor, aerospace, medical manufacturing, and more.

“Guided by a shared vision for sustainable industrial development, we aim to establish a transformative benchmark through the partnership, driving positive change and pave the way towards a greener future in the industrial sector,” said Arnaud Dauvillier, Managing Director of BECIS China, Thailand & Malaysia.

Tan Sri Datuk Ooi Kee Liang, the Executive Chairman of Ideal Property Group shared their vision, stating, “Our goal is to integrate sustainable energy solutions seamlessly into Penang Technology Park@Bertam, demonstrating the power of responsible development and environmental stewardship. Together with BECIS Malaysia, we envision a future where sustainable practices become the norm.”

The ESG partnership focuses on delivering sustainable energy solutions to the clients of Penang Technology Park@Bertam, prioritizing environmental well-being alongside operational efficiency. Importantly, these offerings come with the unique benefit of requiring no upfront capital investment.
