00:00Environmental, social and governance ambition met Measurable Impact on Tuesday at Menara Star,

00:08where industry leaders gathered for the launch of the ESG Positive Impact Awards 2025.

00:14Celebrating ESG in action from vision to value, the invitation-only Power Breakfast United

00:20regulators, sustainability experts and corporate leaders around a single question.

00:25How do we turn ESG commitments into tangible results?

00:30ESG is no longer an option. It's a driver of value creation, resilience and trust.

00:38And this year team saved the best, celebrating ESG in action from vision to value.

00:46The great question today is no longer whether to adopt ESG, but how to integrate into decision, process and actions,

00:56and take courage, innovations and leaderships.

01:01The Star ESG Positive Impact Awards was created to highlight and honour these qualities.

01:07Telekom Malaysia Berhad, or TM and IJM Rimbayu, have come on board as the award's main sponsor and co-sponsor, respectively.

01:16We are honoured to support the Star ESG Positive Impact Awards as its main sponsor for this year.

01:24Because we see this platform as more than just an event, it's a movement.

01:28It reflects our responsibility as a national institution and a long-term standing nation builder.

01:34TM has been around for 80 years.

01:36So, I think by supporting this platform, TM helps extend sustainability impact beyond our own operations, beyond our business,

01:45encouraging corporate and technology ecosystems to view ESG not as merely compliance checklists,

01:51but as a driver of competitiveness and also innovation for the future.

01:55By sponsoring the ESG Positive Impact Awards, allows IJM Rimbayu to champion industry-wide progress in sustainability,

02:03while reinforcing its leadership role in ESG-driven development.

02:08Through this partnership, IJM Rimbayu celebrates and spotlights businesses creating positive environmental and social impact,

02:15inspiring others to follow suit.

02:17Ultimately, the partnership serves as a platform for advocacy, collaboration and leadership.

02:23Amplifying IJM Rimbayu's vision of a greener, more inclusive property developer.

02:29I think again, as I said just now, connecting Malaysia to the world and bringing the world to Malaysia.

02:34The Power Breakfast also featured two ESG Byte Talks.

02:38TM Nixera CEO Mahathir Syed walked the audience on leveraging Malaysia's AI-ready infrastructure for a green digital economy,

02:45while Westwood Clinic founder and managing director Dr. Wong Jespia spoke on transforming wellness with tech, empathy and ESG.

02:53The highlight was a panel discussion moderated by Green RE Senior Manager Noor Fateha Jamaluddin.

03:00The conversation brought together Tan Pei Wen, Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad Chief Sustainability Officer Kukok Peng,

03:06and Heliosel Sendirian Berhad Head of Project Delivery Akmal Rahimi Abu Sama.

03:11Together, they explored how renewable energy is reshaping business practices and driving Malaysia's sustainable future forward.

03:20So Malaysia is actually moving beyond consumers.

03:25Submissions for the ESG PIA 2025 are now open across 16 award categories,

03:31covering areas such as biodiversity conservation, water management, governance and innovation.
