In line with its strategic roadmap towards becoming a more sustainably conscious organisation, Malakoff Corporation Berhad (Malakoff) recently participated in the International Sustainable Energy Summit (ISES) 2022 held from 29 to 30 August 2022 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
ISES is a biennial event that serves as a knowledge-based platform specifically focusing on renewable energy and energy efficiency. Launched by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, the event was organised by the Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources. Malakoff was one of the Platinum Strategic Partners, in support of the event.
The summit began with a welcoming speech by YB Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources. This was followed by a keynote address highlighting this year’s theme, ‘Empowering Energy Transition’ by Francesco La Camera, Director General of International Renewable Energy Agency.
The Prime Minister was then invited to the stage to address the attendees who comprised industry leaders and experts, before officiating the summit. Focusing his speech on the future of RE in Malaysia, Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri concluded by announcing that the Government is building Malaysia’s first green energy islands at Pulau Redang, Pulau Perhentian and Pulau Tioman, which will supply consumers there with 24-hour electricity by 2025. The pioneering project will be supplied with a consistent, affordable and low-carbon supply of electricity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 70% from 2022 levels.
After the officiation ceremony, the Prime Minister made his way to visit the rest of the exhibition, including Malakoff’s pavillion. He was greeted by Tan Sri Datuk Dr Ir Ahmad Tajuddin Ali, Chairman of Malakoff and Anwar Syahrin Abdul Ajib Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Malakoff. Malakoff showcased its products and services from its subsidiaries, Malakoff Radiance Sdn Bhd, Malakoff Technical Solutions Sdn Bhd, Alam Flora Sdn Bhd and Alam Flora Environmental Solutions.
Malakoff’s participation in ISES 2022 is certainly a testament to its commitment towards accelerating its efforts in Renewable Energy and environmental solutions to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to the country’s transition to be a Carbon-Neutral Nation by 2050.
