SPARKING GREEN REVOLUTION
Pos Malaysia and Pertamina lead the charge in Energy Asia Awards In Asia's quest for sustainable energy solutions, the biennial Energy Asia conference serves as a vital platform for showcasing transformative ideas reshaping the region's energy future. This year, the newly introduced 2025 Energy Asia Awards, brought two groundbreaking initiatives into the spotlight – both exemplifying the transformative potential of sustainable innovation in driving the region's energy transition. The pitch competition and awards honoured Pos Malaysia and Pertamina, recognising their pioneering projects in sustainable logistics and community empowerment – initiatives that are setting new benchmarks for the industry. Pioneering green logistics Pos Malaysia received the Eureka Award in the innovation category. The national postal service is transforming the landscape with its ambitious sustainability initiatives. Sustainability head Jared Ho shared how the company has undergone and embraced a green transformation, beginning with the implementation of electric vehicles (EVs) in its delivery fleet. Despite initial resistance from within, the company's persistent efforts to promote a culture of sustainability have paid off. 'We started with just a small fleet of EVs, and now 25% of our last-mile vehicles are either electric or run on alternative energy,' Ho noted. This transition was not without its challenges. Many drivers were initially skeptical, with some fearing the reliability of EVs. 'Pos Malaysia has undergone and embraced a green transformation. We target 100% alternative energy for last-mile vehicles by 2030.' - Jared Ho Ho recounts a pivotal moment when a previously resistant driver approached him, asking, 'When am I getting my EV?' This change in attitude was largely driven by positive feedback from peers and the pride of contributing to a greener future. Pos Malaysia's journey is a testament to the power of incremental change and strategic foresight. By aligning their operations with environmental goals, they are not only reducing emissions but also setting a precedent for other logistics companies to follow. Ho shared their commitment to creating green delivery zones in collaboration with municipal councils, underscoring their leadership in decarbonising urban logistics. These zones are part of broader discussions with municipal councils, inspired by similar initiatives in countries like Belgium and England, which Pos Malaysia is actively pursuing. Energising villages, uplifting economies On the other side of the spectrum, Pertamina's Desa Energi Berdikari project earned the Trailblazer Award under the social impact category. The initiative focused on empowering remote Indonesian villages through renewable energy solutions that drive economic and social progress. Pertamina CSR manager Roby Hervindo explained how the project integrates solar panels, hydro and biogas technologies to not only electrify but also economically uplift these communities. 'The goal is to ensure these villages are not left behind,' Roby stated, highlighting how renewable energy has enabled some villages to triple their annual rice harvests. In Bali's Desa Keliki, for example, renewable energy has transformed the village into a model of regenerative farming. 'Aiming to empower more villages, Pertamina integrates sustainable energy into local development.' - Roby Hervindo By installing solar-powered irrigation systems and using biogas for waste treatment, the village has not only increased its agricultural output but also attracted eco-tourism, providing an additional stream of income for the locals. Beyond technology, Pertamina invests in community education and capability building, ensuring long-term sustainability and self-reliance. They have trained local residents to operate and maintain renewable energy systems, fostering a sense of ownership and pride. This holistic approach ensures that the project's benefits extend beyond immediate economic gains, laying the groundwork for sustainable development. A shared vision for sustainability Both Pos Malaysia and Pertamina exemplify how strategic innovation can lead to substantial environmental and social benefits. Their stories are not just about technological advancements but about making real-world impacts that align with broader sustainability goals. The Energy Asia Awards serve as a platform to recognise these efforts, encouraging more companies to embark on similar journeys. The awards also highlight the importance of collaboration and shared learning. Ho pointed out, 'While we can't do it alone, sharing our experiences and strategies can inspire others across the region.' Roby echoed this sentiment, emphasising the role of partnerships in scaling their initiatives and reaching more communities. This collaborative spirit is essential for driving widespread change, as it fosters a network of innovators committed to a sustainable future. The path forward Both companies are optimistic about their roles in driving Asia's energy transition. Pos Malaysia is continuing to expand its green logistics network, working towards the ambitious goal of converting 100% of its last-mile vehicles to alternative energy by 2030. Pertamina, meanwhile, is scaling its village empowerment programme, aiming to reach hundreds more communities. Their stories offer valuable insights into the challenges and rewards in the form of tangible, notable change in pursuing sustainability in diverse contexts. In this first edition of the Energy Asia Awards, Pos Malaysia and Pertamina have set a high bar, showcasing the potential for innovation and impact in the energy sector. Their journeys remind us that while the path to sustainability is complex, it is also filled with opportunities for those willing to lead the way. As these projects continue to grow and initiatives continue to trudge forward with breakthroughs, they offer a beacon of hope and inspiration for a greener, more equitable future. The Energy Asia Awards embody a commitment to a sustainable future, highlighting that sustainability is a collective journey driven by vision and innovation. As these projects thrive, they pave the way for others, ensuring Asia leads in the global energy transition.

Pos Malaysia's fulfilment arm aims to stamp its mark across Southeast Asia
KUALA LUMPUR: Pos Malaysia Bhd's integrated fulfilment and e-commerce logistics service, Pos Fulfill, is looking towards expanding its footprint across Southeast Asia, as it is uniquely positioned to capitalise on both regional collaboration and local expertise. The group's established postal network throughout the region – coupled with Malaysia's current Asean Chair status within the bloc's postal community – provides a positive growth opportunity. Pos Fulfill head of fulfilment Rohit Gunavanthe said this leadership role enables Pos Fulfill to forge strong partnerships with local postal organisations in each country, drawing upon their knowledge and resources to establish efficient fulfilment operations. 'Such an approach is especially valuable for in-country fulfilment, where sourcing from local suppliers ensures speed, reliability, and a deeper connection to each market. With these advantages, Pos Fulfill is well-equipped to drive sustainable expansion and deliver exceptional service across Southeast Asia,' he told SunBiz. He said if products originate from Malaysia and must be fulfilled to countries within Southeast Asia, Pos Fulfill can leverage its international parcel delivery subsidiary, Redly, which uplifts parcels from Malaysia to destinations worldwide and vice versa. Rohit noted that, from a technology perspective, similar to the warehouse management system-last mile system link, the integration between warehouse management system and Redly is ongoing. 'Once we complete this integration, we will be able to provide seamless international order fulfilment services to customers outside Malaysia. It will also enable brands and, more importantly, local SMEs to sell their products within the region while having end-to-end visibility of their orders,' he said. Asked about the rapid rise of e-commerce and how Pos Fulfill handles peak season surges while consistently upholding service quality across the nation, including East Malaysia, Rohit said that although Pos Fulfill has been in operation for less than three years, the company benefits from a highly experienced fulfilment operations team. 'The team has managed complicated business-to-business and business-to-consumer (B2B and B2C) operations for international brands and for fast-moving e-commerce businesses across industries. 'We work closely with our customers' planning teams from more than a month before a campaign starts. Together, we set goals, check progress, and agree on a clear plan for space, resources and equipment. Because our customers are involved at every step, there are no surprises. This helps us keep service quality high, even at the busiest times,' he explained. Rohit said Pos Fulfill plays a key role in Pos Malaysia's vision to become Malaysia's top logistics partner for B2B and B2C operators. With eight strategic sites and 170,000 sq ft of warehouse space serving 25 active customers, Pos Fulfill helps businesses get their products closer to consumers nationwide – including East Malaysia – driving value and efficiency. 'In doing so, we can shorten delivery lead times, reduce costs and offer customers great service. 'Our door-to-door service from Peninsular to East Malaysia is a key part of our strategy to be the preferred provider for businesses exploring East Malaysia's potential. 'We also ensure impeccable service quality and reliable fulfilment – delivering every parcel, every time, no matter the origin or destination,' Rohit said. Touching on sustainability and green logistics within Pos Fulfill's operations and supply chain management, he said Pos Malaysia is committed to environmental responsibility, as shown in its 2023 Sustainability Roadmap. 'We have set a bold target to achieve net zero by 2050, reflecting our leadership in sustainable logistics. We have already deployed over 1,500 e-bikes and e-vans, delivering more than four million clean and green last-mile kilometres, and our EV delivery fleet continues to expand. 'Our 16 buildings with solar PV panels and over 54,000kg of recycled materials further showcase our commitment to environmental protection.' Rohit said the company's last-mile delivery business is already serving hundreds of SMEs across Malaysia as part of the strategies Pos Malaysia is implementing to support SMEs and startups through Pos Fulfill. 'So, SMEs are an existing and important part of our customer base. Since the pandemic, there has been a rise in SMEs in Malaysia. 'For local SMEs, our Peninsular to East Malaysia fulfilment network offers unmatched flexibility, allowing products to be stored closer to end consumers. Previously, fulfilling an order from a customer in Tawau, Sabah, required shipping from Klang Valley via Kota Kinabalu, a costly and time-consuming process. Now, with Pos Fulfill's hubs in Kota Kinabalu and Kuching, such orders can be fulfilled locally, dramatically reducing both time and expense for SMEs across all sectors, including healthcare, fashion, publishing, and even government agencies,' Rohit said. Beyond fulfilment, Pos Malaysia's expansive network and reliable last-mile coverage provide SMEs with certainty and strategic advantages. 'Our partnerships enable businesses to expand their reach, strengthen their brand, and unlock new opportunities – making it more than just a logistics solution but a true avenue for growth,' Rohit said.
