RM20 Billion Commitment to ESG
The Retirement Fund Inc (KWAP) has pledged $4.5 billion to increase its focus on transition assets, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable investment.
Driving Meaningful Change
Datuk Nik Amlizan Mohamed, KWAP’s CEO, emphasized that ESG principles are at the core of both the fund’s community outreach and investment strategies. “Our goal is to drive meaningful changes in the transition to a sustainable economy while ensuring strong returns for our stakeholders,” she said during the KWAP Inspire Conference 2024.
Investing in the Future
Nik Amlizan highlighted KWAP’s commitment to substantial investments in renewable energy projects, sustainable infrastructure, and innovative clean technologies. “Beyond investments, we are also implementing comprehensive sustainability programs within our organization, such as reducing our carbon footprint and promoting environmental awareness among our employees and stakeholders,” she added.
Long-term Sustainable Returns
As Malaysia’s largest pension fund for civil servant retirees, KWAP aims to generate optimal, sustainable, risk-adjusted long-term returns. The fund actively seeks opportunities to invest in companies and projects aligned with specific ESG themes, aiming to deliver significant social and environmental impacts alongside financial returns.
Conference Highlights and Sustainability Report
The conference, themed “Advancing Circular Transformation for a Climate-Smart Malaysia,” brought together key stakeholders from various sectors to explore strategies for building a sustainable future. Additionally, KWAP introduced its inaugural 2023 Sustainability Report, which outlined five key pledges, including increasing investment in transition assets to $4.5 billion by 2030 and achieving a net-zero portfolio by 2050.
Leading by Example
“This commitment reflects our belief that financial success and societal progress are intrinsically linked,” said Nik Amlizan. “As we move forward, KWAP will continue to lead by example, demonstrating that responsible investing is not only ethically sound but also economically prudent in our rapidly evolving global landscape.“
