Be part of BMCC's Malaysia Climate Action Week by coming on board as Climate Action Partners. Be part of the solution by participating in our week-long programme to create a positive impact by businesses across industries and participation from the wider society.

This year's Malaysia Climate Action Week is themed "A.C.T. Now! Adapt, Collaborate and Transcend" with more activities to inspire more Malaysian companies to take action and work together in overcoming the impacts of climate change. The Chamber hopes to get more stakeholders involved in addressing issues related to climate change.

We hope to reach out to a wider group of people with a series of exciting events and activities lined up throughout the five-day programme. The week-long programme will include a half-day conference, a roundtable discussion and sustainability workshop targeted at corporates.

The Chamber also launched the BMCC Climate Action Pledge during last year's programme, which saw 29 organisations signed up to either take initial steps on climate action or to support other organisations through their knowledge and solutions. We hope to rally more organisations to sign the Pledge this year and to recognise existing Pledge signatories to further their climate commitments.
