Themed “Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7): A Journey Towards Energy Transition”, the seminar discussed Malaysia’s journey towards energy transition.

Malaysian public-listed companies (PLCs) are also to be commended for putting higher priority in environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. It is laudable to witness private sector embracing
sustainability by incorporating ESG agenda into their core strategies, policies, operations and even CSR programmes,” Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed said in his keynote address.
