ESG in Everyday Life
Not only has SCGP’s ESG focus inspired many innovations and projects for public benefit, but it has also fostered the right attitudes among its staff. Two engineers behind the Wangsala Plant’s Recycled Plastic Pellet project, which has upcycled plastic scraps from the paper production process, are here to share their ideas for a sustainable world.
“I am in charge of construction, machine installations, and coordination with others, including fellow engineers, production team, business partners, and other, stakeholders. In detail, my work requires me to adjust to fulfill the expectations and requirements of each project.
“In my view, my job responsibilities are challenges that I should rise up to. No matter what obstacles arise, I focus on overcoming them and achieving success. My current project is about something I had never done before. But I am determined to do my best. I am always confident that solutions exist. I just have to figure out what the answers are. With this mindset, I have resolved issues one by one until my project is implemented successfully.
“I draw inspiration from the joy of meeting new things. Even though problems may occur, I know I will find solutions in the end thanks to people around me. It is important to have good team members and supervisors. Together, we can create a good work environment and remove obstacles.
“My current project is a direct solution to ESG needs. Since I was tasked with this project, I have been learning more. My horizons have also expanded, with an increasingly better understanding of social and environmental impacts. I have applied my work-related knowledge to other aspects of my life too. For example, I have segregated waste to ensure proper management. Thinking about our planet, I have also opted for alternative energy vehicles so as to reduce pollution and improve the environment.”

“Because my work requires much coordination with other agencies, I first need to know my duties. Then, I do my best for my job responsibilities. With the right mindset, I also look for ways to support others in my bid to improve workflow.
“My company has offered me ample opportunities to think and act on my ideas. It has also significantly supported ESG tasks. So, I have been learning new things all the time. That’s what makes my job fun. I have never felt bored because my work matches my passion. Now that my company has expanded its business to the recycling sector, there is a lot more for me to learn.
“Currently, I have already applied 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) to my daily life. I have separated waste to ensure easy recycling and improve resource efficiency. With the environment in mind, I have also played my role as a responsible consumer. I have supported products made by environmentally and socially responsible companies. Where possible, I have supported businesses that do good things for the world. Thanks to my work, I know that to change the world for the better, I must first start with my own actions.”
