The Malaysian chapter of the Business Council for Sustainable Development (BCSD) has been launched. In a statement, BCSD Malaysia said it was launched today during a roundtable session attended by over fifty C-level representatives of large Malaysian companies.

The local chapter of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) — a CEO-led organisation of over 200 forward-thinking global companies, representing combined revenues of US$8.5 trillion and 19 million employees — aims to connect companies, sectors, and different stakeholders to deliver results that companies alone cannot deliver.

With the wealth of knowledge and expertise of WBCSD, it brings a collective business voice to engage with policymakers and regulatory authorities, and contribute to progressive policy development in Malaysia, said the statement. BCSD Malaysia said Prof Tan Sri Zakri Abdul Hamid will take on the role of director and chairman of the board.
