Bursa Malaysia Berhad is launching the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) exchange by the end of 2022 and invites interested project developers and project proponents to submit their interest to supply carbon credits for the auction, as well as for the VCM exchange in the medium and long-term period. Similarly, corporate buyers who would like to participate in the auction and purchase carbon credits can reach out to Bursa Malaysia to register through the forms below.

VCM enables companies to purchase voluntary carbon credits from climate-friendly projects and solutions. Voluntary carbon markets will play an important role to support financing for projects and solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), in line with Malaysia’s net zero GHG emissions aspiration. Through Bursa Malaysia’s VCM exchange, both buyers and suppliers will be able to transact high-quality carbon credits at transparent prices.

By end of 2022, Bursa Malaysia said a supply of carbon credits is to be sold via auction to interested buyers. The auction will enable price discovery for the new standardised carbon credit products to be listed on the VCM exchange. The clearing price from the auction will establish a baseline demand for carbon credits in Malaysia.

Interested suppliers of carbon credits can register here.

Interested buyers of carbon credits can register here.

The pupil’s Eco Council and Design Technology Department have collaborated to get the maximum benefit from food waste in the College’s Dining Hall. The leftover food is collected from the Dining Hall and is used to create compost for Barton Farm, MCM’s very own organic farm located within the College grounds, which then helps fuel the growth of the produce at the farm. This produce, such as potatoes and green beans, is then used in the Dining Hall to feed the pupils, and the cycle continues.
