He said the Compass@Kota Seri Langat project fulfills the environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, as well as sustainable development goals (SDG).
“This project is something to be very proud of as it complies with the state government’s drive of wanting industrial areas to comply with ESGs and SDGs.
“Those of us in Selangor really need industrial areas which fulfill the criteria, so as to ensure sustainable development can take good care of the environment,” Teng said.
