Sunway Ranks Among Malaysia’s Top Sustainable Employers And Graduates’ Preferred Choice

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 19  — Sunway Group was affirmed as one of the best employers in the country by an independent research organisation, Sustainable Employer Research Centre, for leading in the Sustainable Employer Index (SEI).

The centre ranked Sunway Group as the second most sustainable employer out of 100 winners and 930 nominees.

Sunway Group, in a statement issued today, said that it had committed US$20 million to establish the Asia headquarters of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UN-SDSN) at Sunway University to lead continent-wide sustainability initiatives.

“This UN-SDSN at Sunway City Kuala Lumpur is one of three such global centres alongside New York City and Paris to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

“The group also recently established the Sunway Centre for Planetary Health at Sunway University, which aspires to become the first planetary health-oriented university in the world,” it said, adding that the entre will contribute to the advancement of planetary health through quality education, world-class research and engagement with people across the Asia and Pacific regions.

Meanwhile, at the Talentbank’s Graduates’ Choice Award (GCA) 2021/2022, Sunway Group clinched eight awards.

As voted by university students nationwide, Sunway business divisions were ranked as preferred employers for the Construction, Education (private higher education Institution), Entertainment & Leisure, Facilities Management, Healthcare (Hospital), Hotel, Property Developer and Shopping Mall categories, it said.

It said Sunway Education Group, Sunway Lagoon Theme Park and Sunway Property & Facilities Management emerged as champions in their respective categories.

Sunway Group chief human resources officer Foo Shiang Wyne said winning the Graduate Choice Award was a validation of Sunway’s commitment to building a new generation of corporate leaders towards the sustainability of the nation’s economy.

“We remain committed to creating better opportunities for Malaysian graduates and co-creating a sustainable future for our country by nurturing talent and fostering innovation and tech-savviness as we undergo a transformation into a sustainability focused and digitally-driven conglomerate.

“Sustainability and profitability make better business sense as it is proven that they go hand-in-hand. Our commitment to advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and social and governance best practices will continue to guide Sunway in all its business decisions and implementation as we keep delivering positive impacts for our economy, the environment and the society,” he said.
