The EUMCCI (EU-Malaysia Chamber of Commerce & Industry) recently held the launch of the Europa Awards for Sustainability 2017 at the Sheraton Imperial in Kuala Lumpur. The Awards seek to recognize companies that have shown exemplary business excellence in the field of sustainability and contributed to the long term benefit of Malaysian society and economy.
EUMCCI’s flagship Europa Awards returns in 2017 with a new and more comprehensive range of award categories consistent with the European Union’s sustainable development values. There are seven featured categories in total, including Best Sustainability Reporting, Best Innovation in Sustainability, Best Social Impact, Best Environment Impact, and Best Sustainability Leader (awarded to individuals).
In order to execute the awards with greater authoritative standing, EUMCCI has joined forces with KPMG Malaysia to provide the necessary skills and logistics for evaluating shortlisted companies and nominating the winners. Ms. Kasturi Nathan, Advisory Partner and Head of Sustainability of KPMG, expressed the auditor’s excitement to collaborate on this initiative for the crucial values that it promotes.

KUALA LUMPUR -- Rundingan Perjanjian Perdagangan Bebas (FTA) Malaysia-Eropah (EU) yang terhenti, akan disambung semula tahun ini, kata Duta Besar yang juga Ketua Delegasi EU ke Malaysia, Maria Castillo-Fernandez.
Beliau berkata Ketua Perunding Negara Anggota EU akan membuat pelancaran semula cadangan rundingan semula itu bulan depan di Brussels, Belgium, bagi menentukan 'bila dan bagaimana'.
Castillo-Fernandez berkata Malaysia dan EU mempunyai asas kukuh untuk memuktamadkan rundingan dalam tempoh masa yang munasabah.

As we take the next great leap to IR4.0, we are not only looking at a technological revolution, but a productivity revolution too. Hence, we clearly understand the importance of Standards which enable technology to work seamlessly and establish business confidence so that markets can operate productively.

We enjoyed our meeting with Mr. Shaharul Sadri Alwi, DG of Standards Malaysia and his team today; exchanging thoughts to increase European community's awareness on Malaysian standards as well as to explore opportunities to stimulate EU-Malaysia cooporation in related topic areas.

THE European Union-Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EUMCCI) has appointed Tan Sri Dr Rebecca Fatima Sta Maria (picture) as its new chairperson.
