NCT Group wins regional award for low-carbon industrial park
KUALA LUMPUR: NCT Group of Companies has bagged the Sustainability Champion Award at the Asia Pacific CEO Sustainability Awards 2025, recognised for its work in low-carbon industrial development.
The award was attributed to the group's NCT Smart Industrial Park (NSIP), launched in 2023 as Malaysia's first certified Managed Industrial Park, NCT said in a statement today.
It added the 296.23-hectare site incorporates integrated, sustainable design and infrastructure.
NSIP recently achieved a five-diamond rating under the Low Carbon Cities 2030 Challenge, after implementing measures that cut baseline emissions by over 50 per cent.
Group managing director Datuk Seri Yap Ngan Choy said the recognition supports NCT Group's efforts to shift towards a more sustainable business model. Group executive director Datuk Joe Yap Fook Choy accepted the award on his behalf.
"This recognition reflects NCT Group's vision and passion for creating meaningful, lasting impact through every project we undertake," Ngan Choy said.
"At NCT Group, we have always strived to craft world-class developments that are not only architecturally exceptional, but also sustainable and purposeful," he added.
The group is also developing other green-certified projects, including the NCT Innosphere in Bukit Kayu Hitam, which received the GreenRE Silver Provisional certification in February.
The Asia Pacific CEO Sustainability Awards honour individuals and organisations contributing to environmental, social and governance practices in the region.
