    This year, KLCCH partnered with Urbanice Malaysia to support their transformation efforts in B40 housing common spaces to boost social integration in the long term. Sustainable September 2024 also encourages volunteerism among employees by partnering with Reach Out Malaysia and Kechara Soup Kitchen to serve the community in need.

    The campaign also launched its nature conservation effort to restore the coastal mangrove ecosystems with the Selangor Maritime Gateway project run by the Selangor state government.

    According to KLCCH, by conserving the ecosystem, the Group aims to build a sense of community, teamwork, and educational opportunities for the volunteers.

    KLCC Park will be the site with various exciting lineups, including the ‘Art in the Park,’ KLCCH’s signature art programme that has been a hit since its introduction. To promote good health and well-being, Sustainable September 2024 added to the programme: ‘Yoga with Atila Harun’, ‘Pound Fit with Hasif’ and the ‘Step Challenge’.

    Md. Shah also expressed his gratitude towards the programme’s supporters, “We value the deep collaboration with the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre Business Events Alliance alongside our subsidiaries, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Suria KLCC, Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur, Impiana Hotel, Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur and not forgetting our partners, DoubleTree by Hilton and Everly Hotel in Putrajaya.”

    “KLCC precinct hopes to establish itself as a world-renowned SDG Hub for leisure and business, I encourage all of us to participate in the activities while making a positive impact on the communities and environment surrounding us,” he concluded.
