CYBERVIEW LAUNCHES ESG FRAMEWORK AND FIVE-YEAR ROADMAP

CYBERJAYA, March 2 (Bernama) -- Cyberview Sdn Bhd has launched its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework and five-year roadmap.

This is to ensure the implementation of sustainability initiatives and projects within Cyberjaya further its status as the preferred sustainable investment destination for global investors in the tech sector.

Cyberview acting managing director Dr Mohd Hafiz Ibrahim, in a statement today, said the Cyberview framework details how it is aligned with the government’s agenda to create a data-driven, sustainable and innovative future.

Mohd Hafiz said a sustainable steering committee will oversee the Cyberview framework and five-year roadmap. Environmental efforts will include developing Cyberjaya into a low-carbon and smart city through energy efficiency initiatives, sustainable buildings and city designs, as well as sustainable waste management and support activities to promote a circular economy, he said.

In addition, he said the social initiatives under the ESG framework would be geared toward fostering a high-performance workforce and robust communities.

"We have seen global investors take an interest in ESG initiatives when deciding their investments.

“Through this framework and five-year roadmap, we want to ensure that the implementation of sustainability initiatives and projects within Cyberjaya further its status as the preferred sustainable investment destination for global investors in the tech sector and increase the vibrancy of the city’s communities,” he added.

Cyberview has been at the forefront of Malaysia’s development as a technological hub since its inception in 1996. Starting out as the landowner of Cyberjaya, it has grown from strength to strength, until maturing into its current role as the tech hub developer of Cyberjaya.

Mohd Hafiz said Cyberview’s effort towards better governance will promote ethical and transparent practices within the organisation.

“Our framework maps out where Cyberview can add the most value, to have a long-lasting impact," he continued.

He said the Cyberview framework would focus on six United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), namely Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7); Decent Work and Economic Growth Industry (SDG 8); Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG 9); Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11); Climate Action (SDG 13) and Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (SDG 16).

He said Cyberview would implement its ESG framework in a collaborative ecosystem alongside key strategic partners such as the United Nations Compact Network Malaysia and Brunei, 30% Club Malaysia, KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd, and Kloth Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

"The framework was consistent with past efforts in ensuring the development of Cyberjaya was sustainable, which include increasing the efficiency of public service and city living, improving the quality of life and creating a safe city, and improving the standard of environmental sustainability within Cyberjaya," he said.
