Shah alam: PKNS FM Integrated Sdn Bhd (PKNS FMI) has released its inaugural Sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report, which outlines the company's sustainability-related performance and initiatives for the period from Jan 1, 2024, to May 30, 2025.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, the report addresses the material ESG topics identified as most relevant to PKNS FMI's stakeholders, including economic and environmental impact and resource management. Its chief executive officer (CEO), Shamshul Bahari Ahmad, stated that the report also encompasses worker welfare, safety, community engagement, corporate governance, ethics, and compliance, which were highlighted at the launch of the PKNS FMI 2025 Sustainability Report.
PKNS FMI, a facilities management company, was incorporated in early 2023 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS). It supports the state's sustainable development agenda by delivering comprehensive and integrated facilities management services. Shamshul Bahari mentioned that the extended reporting period was adopted to provide a more comprehensive overview of the company's early-stage sustainability performance, particularly given the limited availability of historical data.
He further explained that PKNS FMI plans to adopt an annual reporting cycle moving forward, with the next sustainability report expected to cover the period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, or as aligned with future internal reporting structures. The report is described as a reflection of PKNS FMI's values, aspirations, and responsibility as a company trusted to manage critical assets serving people daily.
The company's direction is also influenced by the vision of the Selangor State Government, through the First Selangor Plan 2021-2025 (RS-1) and the upcoming Second Selangor Plan 2026-2030 (RS-2). They are guided by national and global frameworks such as Bursa Malaysia's Sustainability Reporting Guide, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Additionally, Shamshul Bahari revealed that PKNS FMI is set to expand its role as a key facility management provider for state-linked assets, following its appointment to manage five additional PKNS-owned buildings beginning Jan 1, 2026. The expanded portfolio includes Kompleks PKNS Shah Alam, Menara PKNS Petaling Jaya, Kompleks PKNS Bangi, Wisma Yakin, and Shah Alam City Centre (SACC) Mall. PKNS FMI is also on track to introduce circular economy initiatives for the Shah Alam Sentral mixed-use development.
PKNS CEO Datuk Mahmud Abbas expressed high hopes for PKNS FMI to play a meaningful role in improving the quality of the urban environment. He noted that many buildings under PKNS were previously not maintained to expected standards, but this situation has begun to improve with a stronger focus on proper maintenance and facilities management. He emphasized that PKNS FMI's role extends beyond being a building owner to being a professional facilities and asset management company. PKNS aspires for PKNS FMI to ensure that buildings and assets are maintained to standards meeting customer expectations, while also elevating the overall standard of asset management.
