ABOUT CONFERENCE

Integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into Malaysia’s economic framework can significantly contribute to building a sustainable economy. By adopting ESG practices, Malaysian businesses can enhance their environmental stewardship, reduce carbon footprints, and promote resource efficiency, thereby mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change. Socially, ESG initiatives can improve labor standards, foster inclusive growth, and support community development, ensuring that economic benefits are widely shared. Effective governance practices enhance corporate transparency, accountability, and ethical behavior, attracting more foreign investment and fostering a stable financial market. Collectively, these efforts can drive sustainable economic growth, enhance Malaysia’s global competitiveness, and ensure long-term prosperity for future generations.
