Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 6 September 2024<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013MyDIGITAL Corporation and Bursa Malaysia Berhad (\u201cBursa Malaysia or the Exchange\u201d), have today entered into a Memorandum of Collaboration (MoC), to empower Public Listed Companies (PLCs) in Malaysia achieve their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals through the adoption of digital technologies. The MoC formalises the two parties\u2019 existing collaboration through the\u00a0Malaysia Centre4IR ESG Innovation Challenge<\/a>, announced last month.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

The MoC was signed by\u00a0Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, and\u00a0Adrian Marcellus<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer of MyDIGITAL Corporation and Head of Malaysia Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (\u201cMYCentre4IR\u201d). The signing ceremony was witnessed by\u00a0Yang Berhormat Gobind Singh Deo<\/strong>, Minister of Digital Malaysia and\u00a0Tan Sri Abdul Farid bin Alias<\/strong>, Senior Independent Non-Executive Director of Bursa Malaysia.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

The MoC aligns with the Government\u2019s efforts via the Ministry of Digital, to support companies in accelerating their ESG journey through digital transformation. In particular, there is emphasis on the need for Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies to be at the forefront of this transformation, enabling corporates to address pressing challenges.<\/p>

Under the scope of the MoC, MyDIGITAL Corporation and Bursa Malaysia will explore a range of initiatives, including:<\/p>

1. Co-Authoring Thought Leadership Publications:<\/strong>\u00a0Leveraging the Malaysia Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (MYCentre4IR) network, in affiliation with the World Economic Forum (The Forum), to produce content on sustainability, green supply chain management, digital transformation, and other related fields.\u00a0<\/p>

2. Best Practices Exchange:\u00a0<\/strong>Facilitating knowledge exchange between Bursa Malaysia, MYCentre4IR, and The Forum on critical topics related to sustainability and green initiatives.<\/p>

3. Hosting the Malaysia Centre4IR ESG Innovation Challenge:<\/strong>\u00a0An Innovation Challenge that connects bright minds and promising startups and entrepreneurs locally and from around the globe with Malaysian PLCs. The goal is to uncover innovative solutions that address industry challenges, thus potentially increasing corporate competitiveness and benefit businesses and the environment.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Yang Berhormat Gobind Singh Deo commented, \u201cThis occasion is testament to our nation\u2019s ongoing digital transformation journey. It also represents the Government\u2019s strong commitment to embed sustainability at the very core of our development strategies.\u201d<\/p>

He further stated, \u201cI was pleased to read that Bursa Malaysia\u2019s requirement, for publicly-listed companies to disclose their sustainability practices in their annual reports, was reflected in the article. In fact, the article also highlighted the Malaysia Centre4IR ESG Innovation Challenge. It added that the initiative exemplifies how innovation and partnerships can drive significant progress towards sustainability.\u201d<\/p>

Commenting on the collaboration, Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia said, \u201cAt the Exchange, we have long recognised digital enablement as a key enabler for driving sustainable growth and competitive advantage among Malaysian companies. This MoC with MyDIGITAL Corporation represents a step forward in our efforts to send the message that digitalisation and ESG go well hand-in-hand, to accelerate sustainable growth. We anticipate that the collaboration\u2019s initiatives will support and inspire more companies to leverage digitalisation capabilities, to improve their operational efficiencies and overall sustainability performance.<\/p>

Adrian Marcellus added, \u201cToday\u2019s MoC with Bursa Malaysia is a pivotal step in our shared mission to advance sustainability through digital innovation. By leveraging the affiliation of MYCentre4IR with the World Economic Forum, we aim to facilitate progress towards sustainability and work together to build a more resilient and future-ready digital landscape. We look forward to the Malaysia Centre4IR ESG Innovation Challenge and the thought leadership and capacity-building activities under the scope of this collaboration with our anchor corporate partners.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>

MoUs with 5 Malaysian PLCs<\/strong><\/p>

In addition to the MoC signing, MyDIGITAL Corporation also signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with five Malaysian PLCs at the event:\u00a0CJ Century Logistics Holdings Berhad, Globetronics Technology Berhad, Malayan Banking Berhad, REDtone Digital Berhad, and Sunway Innovation Labs (representing Sunway Group).<\/strong><\/p>

These MoUs are an extension of the aforementioned MYCentre4IR Innovation Challenge. The Innovation Challenge will culminate with a Demo Day at Bursa Malaysia on 7 November 2024, where five of the most promising ideas will receive pilot project funding opportunities and access to a network of industry leaders and investors.<\/p>
