KUALA LUMPUR: Forest Interactive recently wrapped up its impactful participation in ESG Evolve 2023 at EQ Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. The three-day program, held from November 21 to 23, 2023, focused on advancing sustainability practices.  

ESG Evolve 2023, themed “Transformative Innovations for Sustainable Business,” served as a unique platform for sustainability champions and advocates, bringing together 500 conference delegates and 1,000 trade professionals from diverse industries.  

The global technology leader, represented by Nen Lin Soo, Head of Corporate PR, in one of the panel sessions, played an active role by sharing insights into the company’s commitment to sustainable business practices, with a particular emphasis on the “S” in ESG. The panel session took place on Day Two of the event. 

The panel session titled “Social Sustainability: Empowering Communities for a Better Tomorrow” was a thought-provoking and insightful discussion featuring speakers from various industries. The session featured Junaid Iqbal, the Director of Sustainability at AIA Bhd, Irene Ong, Head of Talent and Learning Solutions at LinkedIn Malaysia, and Nen Lin Soo, the Head of Corporate PR at Forest Interactive, moderated by Gunaprasath Bupalan, the Chief Executive Officer of Inovatif Media Asia. Together, the panelists engaged in a dynamic discussion, exploring innovative strategies and collaborative approaches to empower communities for a better and more sustainable future. 

During the panel session, Nen Lin highlighted Forest Interactive’s holistic approach to communities, emphasizing that policy reforms and initiatives are meticulously crafted with the well-being of Forest Interactive talents in mind. This process involves continuous feedback, recognizing the dynamic nature of the workforce. Nen Lin stated that as individuals move within the organization, the collective culture and preferences undergo shifts. Therefore, policies and initiatives are viewed far from a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, social sustainability within Forest Interactive is an ongoing journey, where the company consistently reassesses and adapts to meet the evolving needs of both employees and the surrounding communities.  

“We are committed to nurturing our internal community, and we extend this commitment to fostering an environment where everyone can thrive within our surrounding communities,” simplified Nen Lin during the panel session. “Sustainability is not merely a buzzword for us; rather, it is an enduring principle seamlessly woven into our business decisions, reflecting our ongoing dedication to responsible practices.”  

Forest Interactive continues to lead by example, showcasing its commitment to sustainability through active participation in events like ESG Evolve 2023. The company looks forward to further collaborations and initiatives that contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future.
