Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of our business. We are dedicated to driving responsible practices that effectively balance environmental, social, and economic factors, ensuring that our operations contribute positively to the communities we serve.

With decades of experience, WEIDA delivers innovative solutions across various sectors, including road construction, drainage, water supply, and sewerage. Our products play a crucial role in infrastructure development, providing clean water and sanitation through our water and wastewater systems.

Environmentally Responsible Practices

Environmentally Responsible Practices

Our commitment to sustainability extends to our manufacturing processes. WEIDA’s infrastructure polyethylene (PE) products have a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional materials such as iron and concrete. We run in-house sustainability programmes at our manufacturing plants, focusing on conserving energy and resources, reducing fossil fuel usage, and promoting green products.

Social Governance and Workplace Safety

Social Governance and Workplace Safety

WEIDA values social governance, prioritising a fair and safe workplace for our employees. Our ESG policies help us maintain a positive work environment while promoting sustainability objectives.

Our Business and SDGs
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we strive to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). Our businesses and operational activities directly support the following SDGs:
Good Health and Well-Being Clean Water and Sanitation Affordable and Clean Energy Sustainable Cities and Communities Responsible Consumption and Production
Good Health and Well-Being

WEIDA promotes good health and well-being by developing, upgrading, and maintaining hospital facilities within the healthcare infrastructure sector.

Clean Water and Sanitation

Over the past 40 years, WEIDA has provided water and wastewater storage, treatment and conveyance solutions to both rural and urban communities in Sarawak.

WEIDA is also focused on providing safe sanitation services to ensure the sustainable management and availability of clean water and sanitation for all.

Affordable and Clean Energy

WEIDA is a key player in the renewable energy business. We have supplied and installed solar PV farms to provide electricity to rural villages and support rural water treatment, while also manufacturing floating PV systems.

Sustainable Cities and Communities

Rainwater harvesting with WEIDA’s PE storage tanks reduces the need for treated water and saves over 2 kilotons of CO2 each year, lowering overall carbon footprint.

WEIDA uses HDPE, a sustainable engineering construction material with the lowest embodied carbon (EC) among plastics. Its lighter weight compared to steel and concrete products results in a lower carbon footprint for equivalent HDPE products:

1) Using FLOLINE HDPE pipe culverts instead of concrete culverts saves over 1 kiloton of CO2 annually.

2) WEIDA helps the country save > 20 kilotons of CO2 annually by using HDPE water pipes instead of ductile iron pipes for water projects.

At WEIDA, wastewater is treated efficiently, reducing contaminants and pollutants to enhance water quality for communities, manufacturing, and eco-tourism, thereby promoting sustainable cities and industries.

Responsible Consumption and Production

WEIDA adopts sustainable manufacturing practices to reduce its CO2 footprint.

Rainwater Harvesting: Our factories collect, reuse, and recycle rainwater from building rooftops for cooling and non-potable water use.

Reduction of Fossil Fuel Use: We aim to reduce fossil fuel usage in manufacturing by 20% in 2025, switching to electrical processes and equipment.

Rooftop Solar: By 2025, we plan to use solar energy to meet 60% of our electricity needs from all factories in Malaysia with solar energy, saving 1.5 kilotons of CO2 annually.
