A Better World: Big Waves Start with Small Ripples

KIAN has been steadfast in keeping our Better World promise, especially in raising awareness, organise projects and collaborate with like-minded partners in implementing sustainable initiatives that is line with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). We grab the opportunity to inspire more organisations to participate in achieving UN SDG together through the recent project of JCI Malaysia, namely the *JCIM Sustainable Development Award (SDA).



A Double Victory at the JCI Sustainable Development Awards 


Out of 17 SDGs, KIAN submitted JCI Sustainable Development Award for SDG Goals 3 and 12. We were shortlisted as the Top 30 finalist, announced at the MET Corporate Tower.

The Grand Award Gala Dinner ceremony was held the following month at the HXC Seafood Setia Alam, Selangor. Among 66 remarkable nominees this year, only 15 organisations were chosen. Subsequently, we were awarded with the 2024 JCIM SDA Winner Award for SDG Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.  

 

In another remarkable feat, KIAN won the 2024 JCIM SDA Best of the Best Award across all the finalists for non-NGO’s category. This award is given to the most outstanding and sustainable project that helps to advance the most goals. For us, this recognition is a testament to our team's dedication to making a positive impact on our community and planet.

Looking Ahead


As we celebrate World Sustainability Day, it serves as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to create a more sustainable future. Our commitment to SDG Goals 3 and 12 aligns with the broader global agenda of promoting health, well-being, and responsible consumption.

 

This is just the beginning, as we will be joining hands with Heng Hiap Industries (HHI) and Kluralabs to present soon the world’s most hygienic, safest, and environmentally sustainable chair. Concurrently, we are on the journey to becoming B Corporation certified.

 

Better World, this is our promise.

This is KIAN.
