KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

*Document exchange ceremony at the International Greentech & Eco Products 
Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM) witnessed by the Secretary General of 
the Ministry of Environment and Water

*MGTC and Envision Digital to offer low carbon operating system (LCOS) that 
enables large and small local enterprises to track carbon footprint in real-time

*LCOS will be available to nearly 1000 companies listed on Bursa Malaysia and 
1.2 million SMEs

*Provides world-leading blueprint for public-private partnerships to accelerate

The Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC), an agency 
of the Ministry of Environment and Water (KASA), and Envision Digital, the 
decarbonisation software leader for net zero, have signed a new partnership 
agreement to accelerate Malaysia's net zero journey and promote real-time 
carbon footprint tracking for local organisations.

A document exchange ceremony took place at the International Greentech & Eco 
Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM) and was witnessed by Yang 
Berbahagia Dato' Seri Ir. Dr. Zaini bin Ujang, Secretary General of the 
Ministry of Environment and Water.

The partnership will offer a globally best-in-class blueprint for how public 
and private entities around the world can work together to support the business 
community to accelerate national net zero agendas. It follows the announcement 
of Envision's strategic partnership with the Government of Spain in July to 
build Europe's first net zero industrial park.

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, said, "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."
