The Malaysian Employers Federation has called on employers to adopt proactive measures to promote business sustainability, and survive weather disruptions and climate change.
He said many SMEs have had to shut down operations for good because of climate related events as they could not absorb the long-term losses and when that happens, workers also risk losing their jobs. During the summit, representatives from employers and business organisations worldwide gathered to address the pressing challenges of climate change and explore pathways towards a sustainable future.
Key sessions included presentations on climate mitigation strategies, green skills development, and transition policies and trends. There were also financing sessions for SMEs to explore sustainable businesses. He urged employers and business organisations to engage proactively in climate action, highlighting the need for a long-term vision and commitment to creating meaningful change.
