Published on 06 May 2025

In our new edition of KSInsights, Amanda Yeo talks about how many Malaysian SMEs struggle to adopt sustainability practices due to high upfront costs, lack of awareness, digital illiteracy, and burdensome application processes for grants and financing.

Amanda talks about why business owners often see sustainability as unrelated to profitability, while employees lack time and support to undergo training, and what Malaysia does in comparison to other countries around ASEAN when it comes to the SME sustainability.
