The summit convened industry leaders and policymakers, including YAB Dato’ Sri Haji Fadillah, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Transition, YB Nik Nazmi, Minister of Environmental Sustainability, and H.E.

The summit's three forums provided an in-depth platform for discussing critical aspects of climate finance, focusing on Malaysia's unique challenges and opportunities. During one of the forums – Embracing the Green Shift in Sustainability Adoption: A Brief, explored the convergence of various financing avenues across entire organisations in a transformative approach to support Malaysia’s climate agenda. We’re happy to see our fellow member Ditrolic Energy represented by Mr Tham Chee Aun, Group CEO participating in the pivotal panel session.

🇨🇭 Happy Swiss National Day! 🎉

Today, we celebrate the historic moment of August 1, 1291, when the Swiss Confederation was founded. Did you know that this day marks the pact signed by the three cantons of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden, which laid the foundation for modern Switzerland?

Wishing all our Swiss members, friends, and connections a joyful celebration filled with pride and unity.
