Plaza Premium, a Hong Kong-based airport

promoting and leading the corporate sustainability agenda at
engineering, construction and biotechnology multinational
companies.

development of Malaysia’s National Planetary Health Action Plan.
“I’m truly elated to be joining a global leader in
airport hospitality, an influential force in an industry for which
sustainability is mission critical,” Dr. Syafrina said. “One of
Plaza Premium’s core business pillars is sustainability, alongside people
and digitalisation. This is testament to the company’s commitment to
operating a business that is not just profitable, but that also
profits the planet and society at large. I’m thrilled to be part
of that vision and excited to be working together with our people
and partners towards making travel better.”
Earlier this year, Plaza Premium signed its commitment to
the UN Global Compact, pledging support to its 10 universal

anti-corruption.

support and align with the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact
in its strategy, culture and day-to-day operations.
Plaza Premium is planning to conduct a materiality
assessment later this year, which will be followed by the
development of a sustainability strategy and roadmap.
These
initiatives aim to enhance PPG's sustainability efforts and
effectively manage and reduce its environmental footprint across
its global operations.
“As our business has expanded to a host of airport
hospitality ranging from Aerotel hotels, to innovative dining
outlets, and concierge services, Plaza Premium has adopted more
sustainable practices and products throughout our ecosystem,” said
Song Hoi-see, Founder and CEO of Plaza Premium. “We built this
business from the ground up in 25 years, and we are committed to
growth for the next 25 years and beyond as a responsible steward
within the travel and tourism industry.”
