She said as of 2008, the company's energy saving measures had resulted in an average savings of RM487,000 per annum.

Noormah added that as part of the company's Go Green, Go Lo-Co campaign, ERLSB would also stepping its green commitment by reducing, re-using and recycling products and materials used within its operations.

"By having this kind of campaign, we also hope to boost our market share from 17 percent currently," she said.
