Under the 12th Malaysia Plan,Malaysia has announced ambitious goals of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and reducing its greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) intensity of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 45% by 2030. The partnership between Envision Digital and MGTC will equip key stakeholders with the tools and capabilities they need to track their carbon emissions.

As part of this collaboration,both parties will jointly develop a low carbon operating system (LCOS) to enable local businesses of all sizes across Malaysia to monitor and manage their carbon emissions. This will be available to all companies in Malaysia,including nearly 1000 companies listed on Bursa Malaysia and 1.2 million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Powered by EnOSTM Ark,Envision Digital's carbon management solution,LCOS allows key stakeholders to catalyse the decarbonisation and digitalisation momentum,and gain real-time insights into their carbon footprint.

Ts. Shamsul Bahar Mohd Nor,CEO of MGTC,said, "Getting to net zero means reducing the build-up of emissions in the atmosphere that are warming our planet. With rising temperatures,the world faces a number of irreversible environmental changes. Issues such as food and water shortages,unpredictable weather,and the outbreak of diseases could affect humanity and future generations for years to come."

He added,"Globally,many companies are embarking on the net-zero transition,and decarbonisation is undoubtedly the first and most crucial part of this agenda. Our partnership with Envision Digital will allow companies to measure their carbon emissions,manage their business activities and take action to reduce their emissions. This opportunity will pave the way for us to promote a green economy and realise the national mission to build a carbon-neutral nation by 2050."

Michael Ding,Global Executive Director of Envision Digital,"We are pleased to partner with MGTC to help accelerate Malaysia's decarbonisation efforts and transition to a net zero economy. Public-private partnerships are vital to achieve global emissions goals and we believe our work with Malaysia is a lighthouse for other similar national initiatives to accelerate their net zero journey."
