Speaking at the Marim International Conference 2025, here on Tuesday, the Life Water Berhad chairman said global warming is likely to exceed the 1.5°C threshold without urgent reductions in fossil fuel use.
He called for organisations to adopt full life cycle assessments and align operations with ESG goals to support long-term sustainability.
Marim Chairman Muhammad Faisha Shahriman urged risk professionals to take on more strategic roles in responding to economic, policy and technological shifts.
The two-day conference, held for the first time in Sabah, has drawn over 300 participants from multiple sectors and is supported by sponsors including Howden Malaysia.
