ESG and the Law: Inaugural Annual Reading – Inns of Court Malaysia Distinguished Law Talk
Our partners, HAo HAn Loo and Lim Kuan, had the privilege of attending an enlightening event at the University of Reading Malaysia located at Johor Bahru, focused on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and the Law.
It was an opportunity to delve into the evolving landscape of sustainable business practices and legal compliance.
What made this gathering even more enriching was the chance to connect with distinguished judges, seasoned practitioners, and in-house counsels from industry giants like Telekom and Petronas. These interactions sparked insightful discussions on the intersection of law, sustainability, and corporate responsibility.
Tun Arifin Zakaria, ex-Chief Justice of Malaysia delivered a lecture titled “ESG and the Law”. Subsequently, an expert panel comprising of Professor Andrew Harding, Justice Datuk Seri Mohd Firuz, Mr Niz Azli Abu Zahar and Tuan Syed Marzidy moderated by Justice Evrol Mariette Peters sparked lively discussions on the topic of “Purpose to Profit – Navigating ESG within the legal realm”.
We're excited to share some pictures from this event in this post.
