The ESG Association of Malaysia (ESGAM) was proud to be part of the Global AI, Digital & Green Economy Summit 2025 in Kuala Lumpur! A massive thank you to the Joint Organisers, KSI Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific and the World Digital Chamber (WDC), for hosting such a crucial and insightful event.
 
Our President, Adjunct Practice Prof. Cheah Kok Hoong, joined the engaging Session 1: AI and the Green Economy panel, moderated by the insightful Mr. Jacob Lee, President of FMM. We also extend our gratitude to our fellow distinguished panelists:
1. Associate Professor Ir. Ts. Dr. Hum Yan Chai (Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman – UTAR)
2. Ms. Arina Kok (Partner, Ernst & Young Consulting Sdn Bhd)
 
💡 Key Takeaways:
1. AI as a Sustainability Multiplier: AI can automate data collection, validate carbon baselines, and improve energy efficiency, accelerating the implementation of national ESG strategies and disclosures.
 
2. SME Inclusion is Critical: Practical support like low-cost, AI-based carbon tracking platforms and expanded incentives for “AI-for-ESG” investments are essential to ensure SMEs can participate meaningfully in the green transition.
 
3. Governance for Trust: Boards must elevate AI governance into ESG oversight, requiring clear audit trails, ethical AI policies, and the disclosure of AI’s environmental footprint to build market trust and accountability.
Recognizing that SME inclusion is critical and that practical support is necessary to successfully leverage AI and digital tools for green transitions, ESGAM has launched ESGAM Connect.
 
ESGAM Connect is our dedicated platform designed to bridge the knowledge and resource gap for Malaysian SMEs embarking on their sustainability journey. It provides the practical tools, guides, and networking opportunities necessary to help businesses implement these key ESG best practices and effectively utilize the emerging digital and AI solutions discussed at the Summit. We are turning insights into accessible actions for our members!
