On Aug 15, Star Media Group’s Circular Economy Conference will return for its third year. In partnership with UOB as the event’s platinum sponsor, this year’s theme, “Green Investment Towards a Circular Economy,” aims to encourage participants to invest in cutting-edge technologies or systems – for example, in waste management – in line with Malaysia’s sustainability goals and aspirations towards Net Zero by 2050.
The circular model builds economic, natural and social capital based on three principles to cultivate green practices: designing out waste and pollution; keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible; and regenerating natural systems. UOB has been working with Star Media Group to consolidate the driving financial practices and solutions to achieve the nation’s net-zero goal by 2050.
UOB has developed one of the most comprehensive and market-leading financing frameworks and solutions. This framework supports companies that are contributing to the creation of smart cities, construction of green buildings, facilitating green trade, transitioning away from energy-intensive, brown and ‘hard-to-abate sectors’, and creating a circular economy.
