Aireen Omar, Chief Executive Officer of AirAsia Berhad says, “#GREEN24 is a regional initiative, and throughout the 24-hour period from 29 to 30 January 2016, offices all across AirAsia group will be organising various activities with their respective communities. Our affiliates in Thailand are organising a reef clean-up while our offices in Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia are holding education programmes on recycling and planting trees by the river to avoid erosion. These are just a few of the examples of the things taking place.”

“We hope to create more awareness among Malaysians on the effects of climate change by inviting the public to participate in this challenge and be a part of the #GREEN24 movement. The amount of environmentally friendly actions that an individual can take on is limitless. It begins with finding an interest that will serve as the catalyst to create beneficial communal projects for this challenge and every action that we take will make a difference to our planet. We look forward to all your participation in this #GREEN24 Challenge,” added Aireen.

AirAsia’s #GREEN24 campaign was first launched last November as part of the airline’s Corporate Social Responsibility. The initial activity saw over 150 volunteers from across the AirAsia Group and Tune Group of companies come together to clean the Kanching Rainforest Waterfall in Rawang. Nearly 600kg of garbage was collected in a short duration of 90 minutes during this waterfall clean-up activity.
