Malaysia's International Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz announced a new National ESG Industry Framework to help SMEs transition to ESG standards by year-end. The framework will offer financial support, capacity building, and encourage ESG adaptation, including carbon trading. This aligns with Malaysia's net-zero target by 2050 and supports renewable energy innovations like MYBESS by Citaglobal Genetec, aimed at enhancing the country’s energy security and global industrial standing.
