A Joint Venture Agreement between SEG International Bhd with the Selangor State's Investment arm, Kumpulan Darul Ehsan Berhad, for the establishment of the Centre for Environmental Protection & Information (CEPi) was signed on the 24th of April 2006.

The idea of establishing CEPi was mooted and shared with the Selangor State Government over a year ago and a lot of effort was spent on this concept since.

The main philosophy in the establishment of CEPi is to assist in the protection, preservation & rehabilitation of the wealth of biological and ecological resources within the State of Selangor Darul Ehsan.

CEPi will:

  • Provide education, training and certification programmes related to environment protection and sustainable development.
  • Conduct studies on policy, technology and scientific advancements relevant to environmental protection and sustainable developments.
  • Provide coordination work related to environmental protection efforts in the State.
  • Serve as the main conduit to capture, analyze, compile and disseminate information on environmental issues.

SEGi is presently tapping into its network of partner universities and strategic partners to form a panel of environmental experts to serve on CEPi's Board of Scientific & Technical Experts. Members of this Board will provide inputs and guidance to CEPi on its various activities and serve as authorities in the respective fields to render assistance and advice to CEPi and to the State Government of Selangor on matters and issues relating to the environment.

CEPi will be headed by an Executive Chairman who will provide the leadership needed to guide the organisation towards it main objectives and key functional roles.

It shall be a commercial organisation and as such, it shall be self-funded and involved in for-profit activites.

SEGi is very honoured to gain the confidence of the State Government of Selangor to establish and operate CEPi, which will be a strategic institution to provide sustainable development to the State. The Group shall endeavour to strive and succeed in this undertaking.
