IJM extends sustainability winning streak, bags three at CSR Malaysia Awards
KUALA LUMPUR: IJM Corp Bhd continued its winning streak in sustainability leadership after securing three major accolades at the 10th Sustainability and CSR Malaysia Awards 2025.
In a statement, IJM said the company's commitment to responsible highway management and impactful community engagement was recognised with two significant awards for its managed highways.
Lebuhraya Kajang-Seremban (LEKAS) was named Company of the Year for highway management, community and social care, while Lebuhraya Baru Pantai (NPE) received the Company of the Year for highway management, sustainability and community care award.
Among NPE's key initiatives was the IJM Allianz Duo Highway Challenge 2024, aimed at promoting active lifestyles and encouraging safer, healthier community interaction with toll highways.
Meanwhile, LEKAS was lauded for its role in organising the RHB LEKAS Highway Ride 2024 and supporting the Paralympic Council Malaysia's TambahEMAS Paris 2024 Campaign, which contributes to the development of national para-athletes.
IJM toll division chief executive officer Wan Salwani Wan Yusoff was also honoured with the Asia Sustainability Personality Award (ESG Leadership) for her outstanding leadership and contributions to Malaysia's socio-economic transformation.
She had previously received the Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Malaysia Personality of the Year (ESG Leadership Award) in 2024.
Wan Salwani said sustainability is integral to its business strategy and critical for IJM's long-term success and nation-building efforts.
She said the company's initiatives across Besraya, NPE, and LEKAS Highways are designed to create shared value, from promoting healthy lifestyles to uplifting underprivileged communities and supporting national athletes.
"We recognise that continuous engagement with our stakeholders – communities, government, employees, and partners – is essential in driving meaningful impact," she added.
The awards, judged by a panel of corporate and social leaders, recognise impactful and transparent CSR initiatives advancing Malaysia's sustainability agenda.
