Sun & Roots: A Greener Future brings renewable energy, sustainable agriculture and community action together to create lasting impact<\/i>
\n
\nKUALA LUMPUR, 3 September 2026 \u2013 Tune Protect Group Berhad (\u201cTune Protect\u201d or \u201cthe Group\u201d) and Verdant Solar have joined forces through Sun & Roots: Towards A Greener Future, a sustainability-driven community initiative aimed at creating lasting social and environmental impact for Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak-Anak Yatim & Miskin Sungai Pinang, Klang, supported by Sunway XFarms.
\n
\nThe collaboration combines the strengths of each organisation to help strengthen the orphanage\u2019s long-term sustainability and day-to-day operations. Tune Protect champions employee volunteerism and community engagement, Verdant Solar provides renewable energy expertise through the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, and Sunway XFarms complements these efforts with a hydroponic farming initiative to support sustainable food cultivation. Together, these efforts aim to reduce operating costs, enhance self-sufficiency and secure a more sustainable future for the orphanage.
\n
\nSun & Roots: Towards A Greener Future, is designed to create practical and lasting benefits for the home by combining renewable energy, sustainable food practices, environmental education and improvements to the living environment. The collaboration aims to support the orphanage in adopting more sustainable practices while empowering the children with greater awareness of environmental stewardship and food security.

\n\u201cAt Tune Protect, we believe sustainability becomes more meaningful when it creates tangible benefits that communities can experience over the long term. The programme goes beyond the traditional one-off charitable efforts as it is designed to create lasting environmental and social value through purposeful partnerships, employee volunteerism and sustainable community outcomes that continue long after the event itself. As we continue to expand our Corporate Good initiatives, we remain steadfast in our renewed pledge to contribute 6,000 volunteer hours between 2025 and 2027,\u201d said Koot Chiew Ling (\u201cChiew Ling\u201d), Chief Strategy Officer and Chair of the Sustainability Committee, Tune Protect Group Berhad.
\n
\nA key component of the initiative is the planned installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems at the orphanage\u2019s office and dormitory buildings by Verdant Solar. The proposed systems comprise 6.44 kWp for the office building and 9.20 kWp for the dormitory building, translating into a savings in electricity cost of up to RM6,500-7,500 per annum. It supports the home\u2019s transition towards cleaner energy while helping improve long-term electricity cost efficiency. The solar panels were symbolically handed over during the one-day volunteering event, with completion targeted by the end of September and mid-October 2026 for it to be fully operational.

\n\u201cThrough Sun & Roots: A Greener Future, Verdant Solar is pleased to support the orphanage\u2019s transition towards cleaner energy while working alongside Tune Protect and its partners. We hope the planned solar installation will serve as a lasting contribution that continues to benefit the community well beyond the programme itself,\u201d said Wang Woei Shenq, Business Development Manager (Commercial and Industrial), Verdant Solar.
\n
\nComplementing the renewable energy component, Sunway XFarms conducted its Farming Made Fun sustainability workshop, introducing the children to hydroponic farming and food security. Through hands-on activities such as microgreens planting and sustainable farming exercises, the children gained practical exposure to food cultivation and the importance of responsible food production.
\n
\nThe initiative brought together more than 60 volunteers from Tune Protect, Verdant Solar and Sunway XFarms who contributed their time through educational and community activities such as gotong-royong, facility enhancement and landscaping activities aimed at improving the orphanage\u2019s shared spaces and overall living environment. The orphanage houses 52 children under its roof with nine caretakers who were also present during the event.
