ICDM Post-Budget PowerTalk

“Malaysian companies should take a leaf from the Government’s approach – now, more than ever, it is critical for companies to balance their financial and social obligations to ensure the sustainability of their business. From adoption of technology, building more resilient supply chains, transitioning or adapting hybrid business models, incorporating greater focus on e-commerce, to people policies which include focussing on the wellbeing of human capital assets such as hiring across a broader segment of the population, including the retirees, we hope to see a future with stronger, more resilient and socially conscious companies that are driven by creating positive impact.” Michele Kythe Lim, President/CEO, Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia

Amidst unprecedented times, Malaysia embarks on a recovery journey of its economy based on three fundamental thrusts – the Rakyat’s prosperity, business continuity and economic resilience.
