Vale And Petrobras Announce A Partnership To Test Fuel With Renewable Content

/

KUALA LUMPUR:  Vale and Petrobras, through Petrobras Singapore, have announced a commercial partnership to supply a ship chartered by the mining company with Very Low Sulfur (VLS) B24, a marine fuel with 24% second-generation biodiesel. In collaboration with the company Oldendorff Carriers, the bulk carrier Luise Oldendorff was fueled in Singapore, on 04/22/2025, for testing purposes. The product was formulated by Petrobras Singapore (PSPL) itself in its locally leased tanks, by blending 76% fossil fuel oil from the refineries of the Petrobras System and 24% UCOME, a biofuel originating from the processing of used cooking oil (UCO), purchased in the region. Petrobras Singapore has the ISCC EU certification, which guarantees that its product meets the strict sustainability criteria, a requirement that accompanies the entire biofuel logistics chain involved in this process. The biobunker test continues the strategic partnership between Petrobras and Vale, which provides for the supply of products focused on competitiveness and the advancement of the decarbonization agenda. “We are developing increasingly sustainable fuels and honoring our commitment to decarbonize our activities. The partnership with Vale is another achievement of Petrobras’ goal of improving the company’s production capacity and logistics structure, to deliver greener products to the market and reinforce our decarbonization strategy”, says Petrobras president Magda Chambriard. “Vale has a firm commitment to promote the decarbonization of its operations. In this context, our shipping area has evaluated several scenarios to reduce GHG emissions in maritime transport, which includes the development of multi-fuel solutions for new and existing ships that transport our products globally. Petrobras is a very important partner in this process,” says Vale’s CEO, Gustavo Pimenta. The tests with alternative fuels on ships chartered by Vale are part of a series of initiatives by the mining company to foster and support decarbonization in global maritime transport, in line with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) emission reduction targets. Vale has a goal of reducing its scope 1 and 2 emissions by 33% by 2030. The company has also committed to a 15% reduction in scope 3 emissions by 2035, related to the value chain, of which most emissions from shipping are part. For Petrobras, the commercialization of the bunker with renewable content is in line with the strategy of developing and offering new products, towards a low-carbon market, and innovating to generate value for the business, enabling solutions in new energies and decarbonization. The company’s 2025-2029 Business Plan foresees an investment of US$ 16.3 billion in energy transition initiatives, encompassing, in addition to Low Carbon Energy projects, projects for the decarbonization of operations and Research and Development (R&D) that permeates all segments. This volume represents 15% of the total CAPEX forecast for the five-year period (against 11% on the previous plan) and an increase of 42% compared to the previous plan.

Asia’s hospitality sector finds balance between opulence and sustainability says Hong Kong’s leading tourism expert

/

HONG KONG : Sustainable tourism has evolved from niche market to mainstream aspiration, with profound implications for how travellers, businesses, and destinations approach hospitality, according to Professor Lisa Wan, Associate Professor at the School of Hotel and Tourism Management, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School.     Speaking at the Economist Impact’s 4th annual Sustainability Week Asia held in Bangkok in March, Professor Wan highlighted how post-pandemic tourism patterns have accelerated sustainability concerns. “The sudden post-COVID tourist influx overwhelmed many destinations, revealing tourism’s hidden costs—overtourism, waste, and strain on local resources,” Professor Wan explained. “As we continue to travel, we must do so sustainably so that the environment and communities we experience today will welcome the next generation.” The Psychology of Tourist Behaviour One of Professor Wan’s key research findings centres on what she calls “psychological distance” in tourist settings. Her studies reveal that travellers often behave less environmentally responsibly when away from home. “Tourists tend to misbehave and act less environmentally friendly due to psychological detachment from the destination,” Professor Wan noted. “They perceive travel destinations as ‘not their home,’ reducing their sense of responsibility.” Her research suggests that closing this psychological gap through meaningful local interactions can significantly improve tourist behaviour. “Something as simple as residents warmly engaging with visitors through a smile can foster a sense of belonging and responsibility,” she said. “Cultural experiences that connect tourists with local heritage and traditions also lead to greater environmental empathy.” Professor Wan cited examples like Hong Kong’s promotion of in-depth cultural tourism and Japan’s Satoyama village experiences, where visitors participate in traditional rural lifestyles. Studies show participants in such immersive experiences are more likely to adopt sustainable behaviours like reducing waste and respecting natural environments. Redefining Luxury Contrary to perceptions that sustainability compromises luxury, Professor Wan’s research indicates that environmental responsibility can actually enhance premium hospitality experiences. “Luxury is shifting from excess to quality over quantity,” she explained. “While often associated with cost-cutting, ‘going green’ is actually about value-adding and investing in the future.” She pointed to Six Senses Resort as an example of ultra-luxury seamlessly integrating sustainability by using locally sourced materials while maintaining world-class aesthetics. Instead of extravagance, guests enjoy organic farm-to-table dining and nature excursions powered by renewable energy. Interestingly, Professor Wan’s research reveals that high-status consumers often prefer eco-friendly hotels to enhance their public image, creating a powerful market incentive for sustainable practices. Cultural Differences in Eco-Messaging Hotels seeking to attract eco-conscious guests should tailor their messaging appropriately, according to Professor Wan’s findings. “Different types of eco-conscious travellers respond to different sustainability information,” she noted. “Asian and younger travellers care more about actual practices adopted by hotels, while eco-certifications work better for Western and more mature travellers.” To benchmark progress, CUHK Business School has developed the Hotel Sustainability Index for the Greater Bay Area, creating industry-wide competition for greener operations. Professor Wan reports that sustainability scores have improved over time, reflecting growing commitment to environmental responsibility. The Future of Sustainable Tourism For Thailand and other Southeast Asian destinations heavily dependent on tourism, Professor Wan emphasises that sustainable approaches need not sacrifice economic benefits. “Sustainable tourism is about achieving harmony between environmental protection, social responsibility, and economic viability,” she concluded. “The future of tourism depends on embracing responsible practices that benefit both travellers and local communities.”

ESG-i Assessment Framework Launched By Ficus Capital, INCEIF to Empower MSMEs

/

KUALA LUMPUR: Ficus Capital, in collaboration with INCEIF University, launched its ESG-i Assessment Framework that will serve as an innovative tool to empower micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Malaysia with sustainable practices. The launching was held at the Global Forum on Islamic Economics and Finance GFIEF 2024 that was organised by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), in collaboration with key industry players and under the patronage of the Ministry of Finance. The assessment framework is an inclusive blueprint for assessing sustainability that incorporates Shariah principles and the Quadruple Bottom Line (QBL) – planet, people, profit and principle. “It is natural for Islamic finance development to converge with ESG as Islamic Social Finance has been practised by Islamic Banks and Islamic Financial Institutions in Malaysia. This robust ESG-i framework is timely as a catalyst towards greater integration between Islamic finance and ESG, especially since it comes on the back of our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s recent announcement on the government’s commitment towards Islamic finance innovation via partnerships,” said Religious Affairs Deputy Minister Senator Zulkifli Hasan. By simplifying complex sustainability criteria, the ESG-I Assessment Framework provides practical tools for MSMEs to help them transition to a low carbon, circular and resilient (LCCR) future, enabling them to mitigate risks, unlock new markets and enhance their financial performance. On this, Ficus Capital Chairman Nor Azamin Salleh said, “The ESG-i Framework offers a practical solution to help MSMEs integrate sustainability into their operations, which aligns with our commitment to supporting companies that operate according to ESG-i principles. “Hence, the launch of the ESG-i Assessment Framework comes at a crucial time, as global sustainability standards evolve, making it imperative for Malaysian MSMEs to adopt practices that keep them competitive and resilient while fulfilling Islamic finance principles,” he added. The Assessment Framework was piloted with a diverse group of MSMEs, demonstrating its real-world applicability and impact, highlighting the need for targeted support and the framework’s potential to drive significant improvements in sustainability practices. Meanwhile, INCEIF University President and CEO, Professor Emeritus Mohd Azmi Omar said, “The positive response from the pilot phase underscores the framework’s practicality and impact. It provides MSMEs with the necessary tools to integrate sustainability into their business practices effectively. Additionally, it empowers them to be resilient, competitive, and future-ready. “The framework aims to be a catalyst for change, promoting a sustainable supply chain and addressing the evolving sustainability landscape,” he explained.

Unveiling the Challenges and Potential of Neurodiversity in Employment

/

KUALA LUMPUR: Neurodiversity embodies the beautiful array of cognitive differences present in individuals, including those with conditions such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. This diversity enriches society with unique perspectives and abilities, yet it also presents obstacles, especially in the realm of employment. “Neurodivergent people have immense untapped talent. When they develop an interest in specific subjects, they possess a remarkable ability to hyperfocus and achieve expertise in those areas,” said Dr Choy Sook Kuen, the founder of Oasis Place. Despite this, studies consistently reveal alarmingly low rates of employment for this population. Extensive research revealed troublingly high unemployment rates among neurodiverse individuals, ranging from 30% to 40%. This stands in stark contrast to lower rates observed among people with other disabilities or no impairments at all. These numbers shed light on the significant challenges neurodiverse individuals face when seeking job opportunities.  Moreover, a survey of Fortune 500 companies reveals biases in the hiring practices of most companies. While 90% of respondents were open to hiring people with physical disabilities or hearing impairments, only 20% showed a similar willingness towards those with severe mental disabilities. This disparity in hiring highlights the pervasive stigma and discrimination encountered by neurodiverse individuals in the job market.  Such biases not only perpetuate inequality but also prevent organisations from tapping into valuable talent and diverse perspectives. Challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals Widespread misunderstandings surrounding neurodiversity perpetuate harmful stigmas and biases in professional settings. These misconceptions hinder opportunities for individuals with neurodivergent traits, resulting in discrimination during recruitment and difficulties in the workplace. Neurodivergent individuals possess a wide array of talents and skills, yet traditional employment systems often fail to recognise and utilise these strengths, leading to high rates of unemployment. Conventional recruitment practices, focused on social skills and fitting societal norms, create barriers for neurodivergent individuals during interviews, networking, and resume-building. Employers should rethink hiring methods by using alternative assessments like skills-based evaluations, reducing reliance on social cues and interview performance. Investing in initiatives such as mentorship, vocational education, and apprenticeships can help develop neurodivergent individuals’ skills and advance their careers. “Many workplaces struggle to accommodate people with different thinking styles, such as those with autism or ADHD. This lack of support makes them feel left out and affects how well they can do their jobs,” said Dr Hazli Zakaria, a respected psychiatrist and founder of Alaminda. He also said it’s not that hard to make things better, it’s as easy as setting aside a designated area for smokers. Simple changes like moving desks, adjusting lights, or creating a chill area with comfy bean bags can help a lot. And just letting these folks eat lunch alone sometimes, away from loud noises or big crowds, can help them feel more comfortable and get their work done well. Addressing the employment gap for neurodivergent individuals requires collaborative efforts across sectors, including government, businesses, advocacy groups, and communities. By fostering inclusive workplaces, providing tailored support, and transforming recruitment practices, we can harness the strengths of neurodiversity and create a more equitable and diverse workforce for the future.

Frangipani Langkawi Accelerates Path to Sustainability, Sets Target to 2030

/

KUALA LUMPUR: The tourism and hospitality sector is strongly emerging as a pivotal player in shaping a more environmentally conscious future as the world increasingly prioritises sustainability in all aspects of businesses. However, key industry stakeholders face challenges that demand strategic attention and action to effectively contribute to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While many prominent players in the tourism and hospitality sector openly declare their dedication to corporate sustainability, the prevailing understanding within the industry prioritises business goals, streamlined operations, and saving money rather than genuine sustainability concerns. One local hospitality player has been moving strongly towards achieving sustainability in its businesses and operations. The Frangipani Langkawi Resort And Spa group managing director Anthony Wong said the resort achieved accolades from two UN bodies, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), in 2022, declaring it the centre of excellence (CoE) in sustainable hospitality. “Our book, which is 270 pages long, offers over 200 ways to practice sustainability. We envision achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 instead of 2050 and showing others how to accomplish this. “From the start of our resort operations, we have considered sustainability, and when the UN introduced the concept of sustainability, we used it as a benchmark. “Over the past 18 years, we have dedicated ourselves to this endeavour, successfully attaining all 17 SDGs. Our team, comprising three full-time members solely dedicated to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives within the resort and two external team members, receives unwavering support from all department heads in our pursuit of sustainable goals. “We have full-time officers recording our water, energy, food and green practices, and documentation is compulsory where we produce academic papers to teach local higher learning institutes on sustainability practices,” Wong told The Exchange Asia. The resort is allocating approximately RM5 million to enhance its facilities, particularly water and food security. Additionally, more investments will be made in energy-saving equipment such as solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles (EVs). Furthermore, there are also plans to increase tree planting to serve as carbon sinks. Note that the current best practices in sustainable hospitality involve the hospitality industry’s better waste management and reduction. This means hotels must take initiatives to use less plastic and disposable items, waste less food, and explore innovative recycling solutions. Secondly, water conservation, whereby water-efficient fixtures, rainwater harvesting systems, and greywater recycling technologies are adopted to reduce water consumption without compromising guest comfort. Finally, sustainable sourcing, local partnerships, and how leading hotels should prioritise procuring goods and services that meet ethical and environmental standards, including organic and locally produced items. Hotels can reduce their carbon footprint by fostering local partnerships and supporting nearby businesses and communities. When asked to elaborate on various sustainability initiatives, Wong said the resort is currently upgrading every room to have a larger internal garden with the edible landscape around the villas, watering from grey water and more rainwater harvesting, and underground tanks and most villas have rainwater harvesting tanks. “We are producing more organic food and creating more education programmes focusing on the environment and sustainability, especially for children. We are also planting more flowers and making our landscape more colourful. “Our resort boasts 115 villas along a spacious 350-meter beachfront, set within an expansive 11.3-acre estate. “We prioritise family education and provide healthy dining options. Unlike targeting the mass market, we cater to a more intimate experience,” Wong said. When asked how the leadership philosophy influences the resort’s management, Wong said leadership is needed as sustainable concepts are still new in Malaysia. “We train everyone on why and how. We recognise internal green champions. We have the training, documents, and videos to learn, and most importantly, I am teaching staff myself on the ground. “Our main challenge is recruiting skilled staff who can grasp the principles of sustainable hospitality and possess a warm, friendly attitude. “We are open to offering higher wages to incentivise productivity. Therefore, the ability to multitask is essential for survival and success in our industry,” Wong pointed out. “My journey in greening and sustainability started nearly 50 years ago, and I pioneered ecotourism in the Asia Pacific. “We are now partnering with the UN to spread our sustainable green practices and discoveries so more countries can learn from our work globally. The best way for capacity building. “Our goal to be a sustainable green hotel school is almost there. We can show over 200 ways to save involving architecture, bioengineering, chemistry, natural science, biology and continuous research,” Wong said.

Transformative ESG Project to Kick Off Today as MIGHT Signs MoU with Pantas Software

/

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT) and Pantas Software Sdn Bhd have inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to embark on a transformative environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) project. The partnership aims to pioneer a Proof of Concept (PoC) Carbon Accounting and Management Software Services towards a new era of corporate sustainability practices starting 1 May 2024. MIGHT said the project will kick off with a 6-month PoC phase, which will enhance understanding, awareness and commitment to carbon accounting by implementing robust software solutions to monitor and report greenhouse gas emissions accurately. The technology think tank said that this collaboration will leverage innovative technology to analyse emissions data, pinpoint areas for enhancement and establish emission reduction goals. “The PoC collaboration represents a significant milestone in integrating ESG principles into corporate governance strategies. “This venture will empower organisations to address the challenges of a rapidly evolving world while promoting sustainable business practices,” it said. According to MIGHT, the initiative will give its employees valuable exposure and hands-on experience in adapting to emerging trends and innovations related to emissions for sustainability reporting and management. “The partnership established underscores MIGHT’s unwavering dedication to fostering a more sustainable future and driving positive change within its ecosystem,” it added. Greenhouse gas emissions are one of the biggest contributing factors to global warming, which is mainly attributed to human activities such as burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat and transportation. A study by Statista showed that in 2022, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from energy consumption in Malaysia amounted to approximately 272.9 million metric tons, an increase compared to the previous year. The amount of CO2 emissions from fossil fuel energy consumption in Malaysia was at its highest in that same year. — BERNAMA

Measures Involving Trade and ESG Must Be Fair to Developing Countries – Tengku Zafrul

/

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia believes there is a need to revisit commitments to sustainable development, efficient global recourse and fair and balanced trade among countries, said the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI). Its minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said countries must have shared values which will result in trade policies that can contribute to equitable and sustainable development. “However, this should not be used as non-tariff measures to restrict trade flows. The proliferation of trade-related environmental measures such as the threat of environmental, social and governance (ESG) by developed countries is among the most important aspects of international trade,” Tengku Zafrul said during a meeting at the World Economic Forum held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Tengku Zafrul said the proliferation of trade-related measures has emerged as potential protectionist tools that could unfairly discourage global production and trade, particularly to developing countries. “These measures can manifest as border instruments and compliance but they will undoubtedly be complicated and perhaps too costly for most developing country exporters,” he added. Tengku Zafrul stressed that leaving the matter unattended could potentially erode developing and least developing countries’ trade competitiveness and investment attractiveness. Citing a report by the World Trade Organisation, he highlighted that environmental goods and services face an average tariff of 4.3% along with numerous non-tariff measures. “The cost of compliance, including certification, can be prohibitively expensive, especially for small and medium enterprises from developing nations. “Such barriers necessitate a collaborative approach where developed countries not only impose these standards but also facilitate the means for compliance through technical and financial support,” he added. Tengku Zafrul went on to say that in light of the complexities posed by ESG standards as non-tariff barriers and the significant need for capacity building and fair trade policies, a comprehensive approach is essential to ensure both environmental sustainability and economic justice, particularly for developing nations. “Therefore, Malaysia supports and welcomes discussions on establishing effective multilateral rules on trade and sustainable development. “Our commitment is evident through initiatives such as the New Investment Policy, New Industrial Master Plan 2023, National Energy Transition Roadmap and the ESG Industry Framework, which are all aimed at achieving sustainable economic growth,” he said. — BERNAMA
