It also emphasises greener lifestyles at workplace while making the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) as the main objective to improve knowledge on the environmental care, recycling and upcycling so that the aspirations of sustainable environment development can be achieved.
Under the GET-Green CSR initiative, Great Eastern Takaful in collaboration with SWM Environment, had organised the GREAT KITARecycle Challenge 2024. The launching ceremony took place in Melaka on 19 June 2024, marking the official commencement of the event. This program focuses on promoting environmental sustainability through education and student participation.
This strategic collaboration involved 60 selected primary and secondary schools from Negeri Sembilan and Melaka competing for cash prizes totalling more than RM30,000.
The challenge features 4 categories for primary schools and 5 categories for secondary schools, including the recycled materials collection, 3R sculpture design competition using recycled materials, essay writing, storytelling, and short video competitions.
