KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia Berhad has launched its three-day Earth Week celebration, from 22 to 24 April, to mark Earth Day with a series of targeted engagements aimed at driving sustainability awareness among capital market participants and the broader public.
Themed around collective climate action, the event features workshops, exhibitions, and expert dialogues designed to catalyse environmental progress across all levels of society.
Tailored Sustainability Programming
The initiative kicks off with the Bursa Malaysia x RHB ESG Series 2, a closed-door session for industry leaders and ESG specialists, focusing on decarbonisation strategies for Malaysia’s economic sectors. The second day spotlights internal sustainability efforts through a partnership with WWF-Malaysia, offering practical climate actions for Bursa employees in support of its emission reduction goals.
