There are 37 operators at Laman Maybank which serves mostly employees and visitors to Menara Maybank. We rent out the stalls at reasonable rates whilst maintaining
the cleanliness of the premises. We are now working with Kuala Lumpur City Hall to create a more hygienic and environmentally friendly Laman. KL City Hall is assisting
with the funding, consultation services and enforcement. One of the requirements under the programme is the compulsory installation of grease traps.
We are exploring how to incentivise our stall operators through a combination of carrots and sticks in order for them to carry on more green practices. We are also
evaluating the usage of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) free detergents at Laman, as well as looking into the use of biodegradable food containers.
At our Menara Maybank food court, Laman, we are initiating a programme to
recycle used cooking oil into biofuel and food waste into fertiliser as a model
for other food courts in Kuala Lumpur.
S.W.I.T.C.HingtoSave
Maybank Singapore has in place several programmes to encourage customers to move towards a greener lifestyle.
In 2011, we launched an initiative called S.W.I.T.C.H With Maybank @ Central Singapore to encourage customers to opt for online banking. With S.W.I.T.C.H, we pledged S$1
for every customer who switched to online statements. Maybank Singapore has donated S$30,000 to the fund since the start of the programme. The funds were used to
provide energy efficient light bulbs for low-income families. This initiative not only saves money for needy households but also promotes good energy-saving habits.
To date 4,000 low-income households have benefited from S.W.I.T.C.H With Maybank @ Central Singapore. These households will save an estimated S$160,000 in utility
bills annually.
