Explore the depths of ESG
The Asia ESG Summit 2025 is poised to spark conversation and change
ASEAN's rapid growth presents an opportunity to lead on ESG issues that matter. Covering a broad spectrum of topics—from climate change and the circular economy to renewable energy financing and innovative cleantech—the Asia ESG Summit 2025 offers a platform to explore the ESG priorities shaping Asia's sustainable future.
Taking place from Nov 5 to 7 in Kuala Lumpur, the three-day summit will enable attendees to dive deep into practical strategies, share regional best practices and engage in meaningful dialogue about integrating ESG principles into business and investment decisions and enhancing existing strategies.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and network with policymakers, business leaders, investors and sustainability professionals from across the region and beyond.
The event is structured around three thematic streams, each designed to address critical ESG areas: responsible investment and circular economy (Stream One), climate and value chain decarbonisation (Stream Two), and innovative cleantech and sustainable change (Stream Three).
Stream One focuses on integrating ESG into investment strategies and sustainable finance, covering carbon pricing, renewable energy financing and circular economy models.
Stream Two addresses net-zero goals by managing Scope 3 emissions, enhancing sustainability reporting, and tackling industry-specific decarbonisation challenges with practical case studies and data strategies.
Stream Three explores cutting-edge climate technologies like carbon capture and sustainable agriculture, featuring product demos, startup showcases and investor networking to drive clean technology innovation.
This tailored approach allows participants to customise their experience based on their interests and expertise, fostering rich discussions and collaboration.

MGB partners with Doka to advance IBS construction solutions
KUALA LUMPUR: MGB Berhad, the construction and property development arm of LBS Bina Group Bhd, has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Collaboration (MoC) with Doka Formwork Malaysia Sdn Bhd to jointly develop innovative engineering solutions for projects using Industrialised Building System (IBS) precast concrete elements. Doka Formwork Malaysia, a subsidiary of global formwork and scaffolding leader Doka GmbH, brings expertise in optimised formwork systems, scaffolding solutions, engineering design, and technical support for cast-in-situ concrete—complementing MGB's strengths in IBS precast concrete, particularly for large-scale residential developments. Through the collaboration, both parties aim to enhance and integrate their respective technologies, combining formwork and scaffolding systems with on-site precast concrete components such as panels to streamline construction processes and improve efficiency. They will also explore new opportunities, align technical strategies, and implement forward-thinking construction solutions that deliver tangible performance improvements and long-term value. The MoC was formalised in the presence of key representatives from both companies, including MGB group executive chairman Tan Sri Ir. (Dr.) Lim Hock San, executive director and chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Lim Lit Chek, Doka GmbH CEO Robert Hauser, and Doka Malaysia country manager Teh Aun Kua. "By partnering with a global formwork leader like Doka, we are not only enhancing the quality and efficiency of our projects in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia but also reinforcing our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and international excellence. We believe this will lead to stronger project outcomes and long-term value for all stakeholders," Lim said in a statement. MGB noted that the partnership supports its ongoing efforts to digitise and optimise construction processes, which is in line with Malaysia's transition to a more modern and sustainable industry. The company's IBS technology has already helped reduce material wastage and improve resource control. In line with its ESG goals, MGB is also focused on upskilling its workforce—particularly in automation, design, and manufacturing—while continuing to lower its carbon footprint through sustainable practices.
