🌱 Sustainability = Survivability for SMEs! 🌱

President, Adj. Prac. Prof. Cheah Kok Hoong, was honored to be a panelist at the recent MICPA x CA ANZ CONFERENCE 2024. The panel discussion on Sustainability for SMEs, moderated by Christina Foo, Senior Independent Director of UEM Sunrise Berhad, featured esteemed panelists including Abdullah Hidayat Mohamad, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of Ficus Capital, Pam Lee Wen Ai, ESG Trainer and Founder of Polar Advisory Group, and Sharath Martin, Senior Policy Consultant, ACCA Asia Pacific.

We explored the critical challenges SMEs face in their ESG journey. While larger companies have the resources to advance, micro to mid-size SMEs in Malaysia often struggle with awareness, knowledge, and understanding the risk vs. reward of ESG initiatives.

Did you know 63% of Malaysia’s top export markets have Net Zero targets? The urgency for ESG compliance is higher than ever, impacting market share and funding.

Final Thoughts:
🔘Embrace ESG as a generational agenda.
🔘Prioritize sustainability leadership and tech.
🔘Lead the change for a sustainable future.
