🌍 Fireside Chat at the JS–SEZ Summit 2025

The Secretary General of the ESG Association of Malaysia (ESGAM), Adj. Prof. Rina Neoh, moderated a dynamic Fireside Chat featuring Christopher Yap, Managing Director of AmBank Business Banking, and Mr. Lee Ting Kiat, Chairman of MICCI Southern Region.

Held before an audience of over 400 participants—including leading chambers and NGOs—the session explored the role of finance, advocacy, and innovation in shaping Johor’s sustainable future.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
– Finance as a driver of sustainable growth – SMEs need financing that is fast, inclusive, and ESG-aligned to support low-carbon transition and innovation.
– Chambers and NGOs as sustainability enablers – By championing responsible trade, investment, and advocacy, they play a pivotal role in embedding ESG into business ecosystems.
– Growth and ESG go hand in hand – Johor’s competitiveness must be anchored in responsible innovation, green finance, and cross-border collaboration for long-term prosperity.

🤝 ESGAM remains committed to building partnerships that advance sustainable growth across the region and beyond.
