KUALA LUMPUR, 22 July 2026 – Tune Protect Group Berhad (“Tune Protect” or “the Group”) continues its commitment to creating meaningful and sustainable community impact through Grow & Give, its Corporate Good (“CG”) initiative in collaboration with Sunway XFarms. Building on the success of last year’s programme, this year’s initiative expands its focus from strengthening community food security to empowering students through sustainability education, experiential learning and employee volunteerism.
Centred at Sekolah Kebangsaan (“SK”) Saujana Putra in Jenjarom, Selangor, Grow & Give brings together sustainable farming, environmental enhancement and hands-on educational activities to promote food security while equipping students with practical knowledge on responsible environmental practices. Across three volunteer sessions throughout the year, Tune Protect and Sunway XFarms employees will work alongside teachers and students to create lasting improvements that continue benefiting the school community beyond the programme itself.
A key highlight of the initiative is the installation of six units of solar-powered hydroponic farming systems within the school compound. More than just a farming facility, the system will act as a living classroom, giving students practical exposure to sustainable agriculture while providing a sustainable source of fresh produce for the school community. Supported by Sunway XFarms ongoing technical expertise, including the provision of seeds, nutrients and maintenance support, the system has been designed to deliver long-term educational and community benefits well beyond the duration of the programme.
“At Tune Protect, we believe meaningful Corporate Good initiatives should create sustainable impact that goes beyond short-term volunteer engagements. Grow & Give reflects our commitment to empowering communities by combining practical sustainability solutions with education and employee volunteerism. By working together with Sunway XFarms, teachers and students, we hope to inspire greater environmental awareness while helping young people develop a deeper understanding of food security and sustainable living,” said Koot Chiew Ling (“Chiew Ling”), Tune Protect Chief Strategy Officer and Chair of the Sustainability Committee.
“More than a sustainability initiative, Grow & Give is an investment in future generations. By equipping students with practical skills and environmental awareness today, we hope to inspire a generation that is better prepared to tackle tomorrow’s challenges and build stronger, more resilient communities,” Chiew Ling added.
This initiative builds on the success of Grow & Give in 2025, which strengthened food security efforts at the Medan Jaya Apartments in Petaling Jaya through the installation of four solar-powered hydroponic farming systems. Across eight growing cycles, the systems produced over 22 kilograms of fresh vegetables and engaged more than 170 Tune Protect employee volunteers who collectively contributed over 1,000 volunteer hours.
Mohd Afdhal Mohd Nayan, Chief Executive Officer Sunway XFarms said, “At Sunway XFarms, we believe the best way to nurture a more sustainable future is by giving young people the opportunity to experience it for themselves. By bringing hydroponic farming into schools, students can see firsthand how innovative farming methods contribute to food security while developing practical skills that extend beyond the classroom. Through our collaboration with Tune Protect, we hope this programme encourages students to adopt sustainable habits and recognise the role they can play in building more resilient communities.”
Complementing the hydroponic installation, the “Farming Made Fun” workshop introduces students, including those under the Integrated Special Education Programme (PPKI), to hydroponic farming and microgreen cultivation through hands-on learning. Tune Protect employees also support harvesting, quality control and packing activities, helping students better understand sustainable food production and food security.
Beyond farming, volunteers will carry out school enhancement activities, including repainting selected areas, gardening, tree planting and setting up a 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) Corner to promote environmental awareness and responsible waste management, creating a greener and more engaging learning environment.
Grow & Give will be carried out across three volunteer sessions in 2026, bringing together approximately 180 Tune Protect employees in support of food security, environmental stewardship and youth education. Through its continued partnership with Sunway XFarms, Tune Protect remains committed to creating practical and sustainable solutions that strengthen communities while delivering long-term positive impact.
“Guided by our sustainability aspiration, In Tune for a Better Tomorrow, Grow & Give reflects our commitment to creating lasting value for the communities we serve through employee volunteerism and meaningful partnerships. As we continue expanding our Corporate Good initiatives, we remain steadfast in our renewed pledge of contributing 6,000 volunteer hours between 2025 to 2027,” Chiew Ling concluded.
