Sustainability At UEM Edgenta
Reshaping the Business Towards a Sustainable Future

Driving Sustainable Solutions for a Better Tomorrow

At UEM Edgenta, sustainability is one of the core principles that drives every decision we make. From reducing carbon emissions to fostering resilient communities, we integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices into our operations to create long-term value for stakeholders and the planet. Together, we are shaping a future where progress and responsibility go hand-in-hand.


MD/CEO'S Statement


I feel privileged to share with my valued stakeholders that at UEM Edgenta, sustainability is not just a guiding principle, it is integrated into the way we operate, make decisions, and create value. Guided by our Sustainability Roadmap 2.0, we actively take steps to advance our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) priorities with focus, discipline, and measurable progress.

We are making steady progress towards our Net Zero aspiration through initiatives that reduce emissions and support both our climate goals and Malaysia’s commitment to a low carbon economy. Sustainability, however, is not solely about the environment. At Edgenta, we place equal importance on the social dimension, recognising that our people are among our greatest assets, working tirelessly to safeguard the nation’s critical infrastructure.

Our Human Rights Policy (2025) reinforces ethical and responsible conduct across our workforce and business partners, while our supply chain practices promote accountability and inclusivity across the value chain.

We remain steadfast in upholding integrity, transparency, and sound governance as the foundation of our operations. These principles continue to guide us as we deliver sustainable growth and long-term value, building a company that thrives responsibly for the benefit of all.
