OCBC Al-Amin Bank Bhd was the lead arranger and joint bookrunner of Edra Solar Sdn Bhd's Sustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI) Sukuk for the operation of a 50MWac solar power plant in Kedah – the very first ASEAN Sustainability SRI Sukuk in Malaysia. A 40-acre (more than 15% of the plant land area) buffer zone surrounding the plant has also been allocated to the local community for the farming of pineapple and other crops. This is a pioneering example of how environmental and social factors (in this case, renewable energy generation and community development) can be combined in a single sustainable project.
