Hyatt Regency Kinabalu's Green Newsletter

Hyatt Regency Kinabalu has a "Green Team" to handle any environment issue in the hotel. The Mission of Green Team is to facilitate environment education, awareness and engagement across all departments within the hotel. It also sets goals that support Hyatt’s environmental goals and provide employees with a platform to share ideas about how they can make a difference in their departments and in their own home (Hyatt Earth, 2008).

A green newsletter for internal circulation will be produced monthly by the PR department. I was assigned to produced the newsletter for December and January.

The most challenging part of all is not the researching part. It was translating what I've written in English into Bahasa Malaysia as the working class staffs would not be able to read English fluently. In my second post I've shown you the press release in English being translated into Chinese. Now you see, as a PR in Malaysian context you've got to know at least 3 languages!

The contents of the newsletter are being discussed during Green Meetings. The attendees are normally the General Manager, Directors of every departments and the PR Manager.
