KUALA LUMPUR: Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (Diperbadankan) (KWAP) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Malaysia Forest Fund (MFF) to advance Malaysia’s sustainability agenda through forest-based solutions.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Chief executive officer Datuk Nik Amlizan Mohamed said the collaboration will be a game-changer for both KWAP and Malaysia’s broader sustainability efforts, reinforcing its commitment to drive stewardship through impactful actions and pursuing purpose beyond returns.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

“By contributing to the development of a credible, nationally anchored carbon ecosystem, we aim to empower our investee companies with the tools they need to meet their net-zero commitment while also making significant contributions to Malaysia’s climate and biodiversity goals,” she said.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The MoU features the Forest Conservation Certificate to support domestic conservation initiatives, focusing on preserving the country’s vital biodiversity and ecosystems.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

MFF will oversee the development of the forest carbon offset, a market-based mechanism that allows companies to offset their emissions through investments in forest conservation projects that reduce, remove and avoid carbon emissions.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Through the partnership, KWAP becomes a participant in the National Forest Carbon Offset technical working group established by MFF.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The working group aims to ensure the needs of institutional investors, including the nuances of ESG investing, are integrated into the framework, where relevant.<\/p>

This participation will also help align foreign carbon offset standards with international carbon market requirements and best practices.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div><\/div>

MFF chief executive officer Datuk Shah Redza Hussein said the partnership is a pivotal step in the mission to strengthen Malaysia’s carbon market, achieving the nation’s sustainability targets and accelerate meaningful climate action.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

“By leveraging nature-based solutions, particularly through the Forest Conservation Certificate and the upcoming Forest Carbon Offset, we are creating a pathway for businesses towards achieving net-zero goals while supporting forest conservation, aligning with national climate commitments.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

“Our work with KWAP and other stakeholders will drive long-term environmental and economic benefits, not only for Malaysia but for the global community as we strive towards a greener and more resilient future,” he added.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

KWAP and MFF will continue to explore opportunities to enhance the forest carbon offset system and other potential nature-based solutions initiatives, ensuring they become key drivers for sustainable development in Malaysia.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The partnership will also support ongoing efforts to build local capacity for biodiversity and forestry management, ensuring that the benefits of the projects reach the communities directly involved.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

KWAP also will continue working with MFF by engaging interested parties to drive joint initiatives.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

This includes possible partnerships with other government-linked investment companies and organisations, in support of the GEAR-uP seek to build upon its collaboration with MFF by engaging interested parties in driving collective action.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
