13. Recommendations
• Enforcement:
• The group recommends the law should be enforced accordingly. The
move is not merely to penalize people but to educate and make the
agenda of making Labuan a cleaner, greener and beautiful city
materialize. Initiatives to educate people to understand the law
should be supported. In particular, continuous engagement by
enforcement authority with schools, households, hotels or industry
are highly recommended.

14. Recommendations
• Engagement with the financial sector:
• The group recommends the local authority of Labuan to take advantage is
position off-shore financial hub by getting local and international banks
and investment companies to introduce green and inclusive lending and
investment practices. By doing so, the banks will develop standardized
policies and procedures that will take into account the risks and impacts on
the environment and community including waste management when
making financing decisions. Where possible, require them to develop
remedial measures to mitigate the project’s risks and impacts identified.
This practice will lead for more efficient way to strengthen the
responsibility of industries on waste management issues. Alternatively,
local authority could add waste management requirements as part of the
eligibility criteria for households to receive micro-credit.
