In conjunction with the ceremony, the Group’s strategic corporate social responsibility partner, Mah Sing Foundation, also presented a mock cheque of RM300,000 to Women Of Will (WOW) to support the Foundation’s third Women Entrepreneurship Development Programme.
The ceremony, officiated by Deputy Minister for Women, Family and Community Development, Yang Berhormat Datuk Seri Dr. Noraini binti Ahmad, was held at Berjaya Times Square Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.
The Sustainability & CSR Malaysia Awards recognise corporations that are instrumental in shaping a more sustainable and equitable future for Malaysia. In line with this recognition, Mah Sing was commended for its long-term and consistent approach to sustainability and social impact. Through Mah Sing Foundation, the Group continues to support initiatives focused on three core pillars: Education, Health and Wellbeing, and Community Development. With a strong focus on economic empowerment, youth development, and gender inclusivity, these efforts continue to uplift B40 communities across Malaysia.
Mah Sing’s Head of Strategic Communications, Sustainability, and Corporate Responsibility, Lyanna Tew, and Mah Sing Foundation’s Assistant Manager, Loh Yoke Fai, accepted the awards from YB Datuk Seri Dr. Noraini binti Ahmad. The presentation was witnessed by CSR Malaysia’s Chairman, Dato’ R. Rajendran, and Managing Editor and Co-Chairman, Mr. Lee Seng Chee.
Mah Sing’s Founder and Group Managing Director, Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Leong Hoy Kum, shared, “We are honoured to be recognised as Company of the Year for our CSR and sustainability efforts for the sixth consecutive year. Receiving the Sustainable Impact Leadership Award, and the Long-Standing Excellence Award reaffirms our commitment to empowering communities and contributing to a better Malaysia. Our focus remains on expanding meaningful, sustainable programmes that deliver tangible, long-term outcomes for underprivileged communities and help break the cycle of poverty. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to our employees, our CSR partner, Mah Sing Foundation, and our strategic partners and NGOs for their dedication in creating real value for the community and environment. We believe that our impact-driven and sustainable initiatives are what continue to set us apart and have contributed to our recognition at these awards.”
Championing Women Entrepreneurs
In conjunction with the ceremony, Mah Sing Foundation presented a mock cheque of RM300,000 to Women Of Will (WOW), represented by its Vice President, Mr. Sashi Kumar Vimala Raj, to support the Foundation’s third Women Entrepreneurship Development Programme. This initiative will benefit 50 B40 women from Program Perumah Rakyat (PPR) Jelatek and Perumahan Awam (PA) Desa Rejang, providing training in financial literacy, business and leadership coaching, and interest-free seed capital to help them start or strengthen their microenterprises.
Lyanna Tew, Head of Strategic Communications, Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility, added, “We’re proud to launch our third collaboration with Women of Will. This programme addresses both capacity building and capital access — two critical elements for sustainable income generation. When women thrive, their families and communities flourish. Our most recent cohort at PPR Seri Semarak recorded an average 56% increase in business income, 29% rise in household income, and a 171% boost in monthly savings. These are the tangible results that inspire us to keep expanding these efforts and help more women break the poverty cycle through education and entrepreneurship.”
Mah Sing’s Sustainability Efforts
Mah Sing’s approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goes beyond compliance, viewing sustainability as a catalyst for innovation, operational efficiency and long-term value creation. Guided by its Group-wide Sustainability Policy and measurable ESG Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Mah Sing continues to explore strategies to address its impact through data-driven, purpose-led initiatives.
In 2024, Mah Sing strengthened its climate strategy by expanding its Climate Risk Assessment to include in-depth analysis on two of its assets, aiming to identify, assess and manage site-specific climate risks. Concurrently, Mah Sing is developing a Decarbonisation Roadmap to reduce the Group’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and drive long-term climate resilience.
Since joining the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index, the Group has consistently improved its ESG performance. Additionally, the Group has achieved a 4-star ESG rating as assessed by Bursa Malaysia. Mah Sing’s commitment to embedding sustainability across its property and manufacturing divisions earned the Group multiple awards in 2024, and this momentum continues into 2025 with its latest recognitions at the Sustainability & CSR Malaysia Awards 2025.
