👩🏻‍💻 Decoding Malaysia’s Circular Economy with Monash University!
SMEs are the engine of Malaysia’s economy, contributing 38% of the country’s GDP. Their transition to a Circular Economy is not just desirable—it’s essential.
The ESG Association of Malaysia (ESGAM) is honored to have hosted Dr. Ho Hui Ping (Helen) and the research team from Monash University’s School of Business for an interview on their critical project: “Closing the Loop: Decoding Malaysian SMEs’ Circular Economy Revolution”. This research is vital as Malaysia commits to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 , and the Circular Economy is a key pillar of national policies like the 12th Malaysia Plan (RMK-12) and the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030).
