KHSB Expands CSR Efforts By Joining UMT's Adopt A Turtle Programme

KUALA TERENGGANU, July 16 (Bernama) -- Kumpulan Hartanah Selangor Berhad (KHSB) has expanded its corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts by joining the Adopt a Turtle Programme, supporting sea turtle conservation initiatives led by Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) and the Sea Turtle Research Unit (SEATRU) at the Chagar Hutang Turtle Sanctuary on Pulau Redang. 

KHSB chief operating officer Edi Abdul Rahim said the recent initiative reflects the company’s commitment to marine biodiversity conservation, particularly in protecting endangered turtle species.

He said the move aligns with the aspirations of Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporated), KHSB’s parent company, to advance the Sustainable Development Goals for environmental sustainability and future wellbeing.

“As a symbolic gesture of KHSB’s involvement, 20 hatchlings were released into the open sea, representing our ongoing commitment to safeguarding marine life for future generations.

“The release also aimed to raise awareness and encourage a sense of responsibility among the public and corporate sector on the importance of nature conservation,” he said in a statement today.

KHSB also contributed RM53,000 to UMT for the construction of Balai Saf, a prayer space for visitors and volunteers at the conservation site.

“This programme is a strategic platform to boost collaboration between the corporate sector and academia, while encouraging active participation in sustainability and social responsibility efforts that benefit both the environment and the community,” he added.
