Asuene APAC Participated in the “AZEC” Decarbonization Cooperation Framework Meeting and Signed MOU with Dasar Consulting to Promote ESG Initiatives in Sarawak, Malaysia

During the meeting, approximately 70 new cooperation projects were agreed upon between AZEC member countries and Japanese companies. Asuene was represented by Masaaki Hamada, Country Manager and Director of Asuene APAC, who also signed the MOU with Dasar Consulting.

Background of the Partnership

In the Asia-Pacific region, including Southeast Asia, companies are interested in decarbonization, and their CO2 visibility and reduction needs are growing rapidly. The Malaysian government has declared its goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and in 2023 announced the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), a cornerstone of its decarbonization policy. The roadmap identifies key areas such as renewable energy conversion and CO2 capture, highlighting a strong push towards decarbonization.

Among Malaysian states, Sarawak is a leader in renewable energy, hydroelectric power, and decarbonization efforts. With 13 industrial parks within its borders, the need for decarbonization and ESG initiatives among companies in the state is growing.
