- Ninth edition to focus on tech and AI for sustainability
- Will feature hands-on workshops, in addition to plenary and panel sessions
The Sustainable Brands Kuala Lumpur Conference 2024 (SB’24 KL) will be held this August 13 and 14. An annual event since 2015, and held under the auspices of Sustainable Brands Worldwide, SB’24 KL will be held at the Sime Darby Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur with the theme of ‘Technology and AI in service of Sustainability and Regeneration’.
The conference will highlight how brands and organisations are utilising technology and AI to support and advance their sustainability initiatives. It will also showcase technology and tools available from tech providers both large and small, that can assist organisations in getting started and progressing on their sustainability journeys. The conference is jointly hosted by Acacia Blue and Sime Darby Property.
Sime Darby Property’s general manager of Sustainability Dr. Yasmin Rasyid said: “Sime Darby Property is redefining what it means to champion urban biodiversity. We’re not just protecting nature, we’re pioneering innovative approaches for co-existence. And to succeed, we must collaborate and the first step is by sharing the business case of our actions with peers, as we need more organisations to follow suit. Nature and urban biodiversity cannot be compromised. Conserving, regenerating, and strengthening nature and urban biodiversity are crucial collective efforts that will help reduce climate risks, improve air quality, and capture carbon. Platforms like SB’24 KL provide opportunities to amplify this message”
This year’s event will include an exciting line-up of over 30 international and local speakers delivering thought-provoking content designed to inspire participants to enhance and evaluate their own sustainability strategies and journeys.
Mahadhir Aziz, CEO of MDEC, said, “MDEC is proud to support the Sustainable Brands Kuala Lumpur 2024 Conference as it provides a vital platform for stakeholders to collaborate, share innovative solutions, and drive action towards promoting sustainability. Our support for this conference aligns perfectly with the Malaysia Digital (MD) national strategic initiative, which aims to elevate Malaysia’s position as the digital hub of Asean while fostering a sustainable and digitally empowered future for Malaysia.”
