Achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 towards building a sustainable future for the world

MEASURABLE, CONCRETE STEPS FORWARD

We aspire to be Asia’s model corporation in sustainable development. Aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and Malaysia’s Shared Prosperity Vision 2030, we’ve set five goals and 19 key targets so that we can take concrete steps and measure progress periodically to ensure Sunway stays on track to meet these objectives.

All five goals are aligned with the UN-SDGs and we aim to achieve them by 2030.

Our Commitment to ESG and Sustainability

Sunway has prioritised sustainability since its inception in 1974. It stems from the vision of our founder and chairman, Tan Sri Sir Dr. Jeffrey Cheah, who made sustainability an integral part of Sunway’s business and decision-making process.

We define sustainability as more than just “going green.” Sunway adopts a holistic and comprehensive approach to ensure sustainable long-term growth by leveraging innovation and technology to generate lasting value. And we do so while upholding good governance, environment stewardship, talent management and community investment.

It all begins in sustainable development

Sunway’s commitment to sustainability and core values adds up to a powerful combination that has fuelled the Group’s growth and expansion over half a century. The very founding of Sunway Group is based on the concept of sustainable development, beginning with the transformation of our flagship Sunway City Kuala Lumpur from a wasteland into a wonderland.

We rehabilitated a land scarred by disused and abandoned mining pools, restored the ecosystem both physically and socially, and deployed technology and innovation to build an integrated township that houses everything from educational institutions, commercial entities, medical centre to shopping mall, hotel, themed park and residential neighbourhood. This vibrant community serves more than 200,000 people.
