We are pleased to extend an invitation to you to participate in our upcoming event, the International Environment, Social and Governance Conference (i-ESG), which will be held from 27 to 29 August 2025 at The Everly Hotel, Putrajaya. The three-day event will be conducted in a hybrid mode of presentation which comprises both in-person and virtual sessions. This will be a great platform for all researchers throughout the world to share their knowledge and expertise related to the ESG theme.

Holistically, nowadays, sustainability encompasses beyond environmental issues. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors are increasingly becoming the mainstay to be considered in making a decision at all levels of the economy. The focus placed on incorporating ESG criteria into various levels is in line with the objectives of the 12th Malaysia Plan in an effort to reinvigorate the country’s socioeconomic development besides ensuring long-term sustainability and prosperity. Under the theme of ‘Inspiring Future Excellence’ it is hoped that this event will be able to achieve the objectives of this conference.
