Sunway Group (Sunway) and the Delegation of the European Union to Malaysia (EUD) have established a strategic partnership aimed at advancing joint sustainability initiatives.
The partnership focuses on leveraging shared knowledge, funding, capacity building, and joint initiatives to foster a sustainable and greener future. The initiative aims to raise awareness and promote sustainable practices across Malaysia, aligning closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs), particularly Goal 17 – Partnership for the Goals.
The formalisation of this partnership was marked by a signing ceremony at Sunway City Kuala Lumpur, where Goosmann and Ong signed a Letter of Intent. The event was attended by Evan Cheah, CEO of Digital and Strategic Investments at Sunway Group, and Pierrick Massaux, Deputy Head of Mission at the Embassy of Belgium in Malaysia.
In Malaysia, the EU collaborates with various local organisations to address climate change and environmental degradation. Initiatives include supporting wildlife conservation, smart cities, and sustainable business practices, with ongoing exploration into new critical areas of collaboration.
Sunway Group, committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, has implemented pioneering carbon reduction initiatives across its diversified operations. These efforts include an internal carbon pricing strategy and a groundbreaking green lease partnership program through its Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) arm.
This year, Sunway is embarking on the Desa Mentari Community Observatory project, addressing urban poverty through a holistic, data-driven approach. The initiative, involving collaboration among private sector entities, civil society, and educational institutions, aims to enhance quality of life for the nearly 30,000 residents of Desa Mentari, a public housing scheme in Subang Jaya.
