UEM Sunrise Chief Executive Officer Sufian Abdullah said that being acknowledged by the SBA reaffirms the Company’s position in its sustainability journey, alongside its recent win at the (MSWG)-ASEAN Corporate Governance Award 2020 that further strengthens the Company’s stance in sustainable development.

Moving forward, the Company has extensive plans to enhance its offerings of sustainable products in terms of spatial flexibility and cost-efficiency as well as its processes as part of its efforts to deliver a sustainable value chain for its stakeholders and customers.
