The award recognised Trienekens’ exceptional performance and significant achievements in health, safety, security and environmental initiatives within its operations.

Trienekens Group Chief Executive Officer Stephen Chin said, “Receiving this award for the second year in a row is truly an honour, as it recognises our unwavering dedication to upholding the highest standards in health, safety and environmental practices throughout our workforce, business and operations.”

Chin further highlighted the crucial role of the team in achieving this success. “The foundation of our success is our amazing team who have demonstrated consistent and unwavering commitment to ensuring a safe and healthy environment not only for themselves and the company but also for our customers and the communities that we serve.”

Chin also attributed the company’s success to the strong support and cooperation accorded by its customers and stakeholders. “The trust and confidence placed in us, along with close communication with our customers and key stakeholders, including the Sarawak Government and relevant authorities, has continuously helped and motivated us to consistently maintain our performance at a high level. For that, we are very grateful and we will continue to give our best for our customers and the community,” added Chin.

This award underscores Trienekens’ dedication to excellence in all aspects of its business operations. The company consistently delivers high-quality, reliable and safe waste management solutions, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner in environmental management.
