PELABURAN MARA GROUP DRIVE LOW-CARBON FUTURE WITH EV GIVEAWAY KUALA LUMPUR


 
24 September 2025 – Pelaburan MARA Group today handed over a Proton eMAS 7 electric vehicle (EV) to the lucky winner of the Mega Karnival 3 Dimensi (MK3D) carbon neutral initiative. The initiative was made possible through a strategic collaboration between Pelaburan MARA Berhad, via its subsidiary PMB Sustainable (formerly known as Edubiz Development Sdn Bhd) and SC Sustainable Sdn Bhd (SCS).

The handover ceremony, held at Proton e.MAS, Jalan Tun Razak, was officiated by Dato’ Mohamad Razali Mohamad Rahim, Chairman of Pelaburan MARA, together with En. Najmi Haji Mohamed, Director of SC Sustainable. Also in attendance were En. Mahdzir Othman, Group Chief Executive Officer of Pelaburan MARA, and En. Hang Tuah Amin Tajudin, Chief Executive Officer of PMB Investment Berhad.

The winner, En. Mohamad Abdul Khalil Abdullah, a government servant from Kedah, has emerged as the lucky winner from among thousands of Malaysians who participated in the Journey to Carbon Neutrality campaign at the Mampani.com booth during MK3D, a major entrepreneur carnival event held from 30 July to 3 August 2025 at MITEC, Kuala Lumpur.

Throughout the five-day event, SCS, as consultant to Pelaburan MARA, played a key role in promoting & developing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives and carbon credit projects, marking a significant step forward in Malaysia’s low-carbon transition. Visitors were encouraged to purchase RM5 carbon credits via the Mampani.com app, earning rewards such as food vouchers and eco-friendly gifts.

Dato’ Razali expressed Pelaburan MARA’s excitement over the collaboration, stating, “Through this partnership with SCS, we are taking a meaningful step toward becoming a more purpose-driven investment group. We see sustainable finance not merely as a trend, but as a long-term pathway to deliver value both financially and socially.”

During the event, the carbon credits purchased delivered substantial environmental benefits, equivalent to removing 140 petrol-powered vehicles from the road for one year, planting over 29,000 trees, or eliminating 28 truckloads of landfill waste.

“The environmental benefits achieved through this initiative demonstrate the real-world impact of carbon credits, setting a benchmark for future sustainability efforts in Malaysia and the ASEAN region. This also reflects a movement where individuals and companies actively contribute to Malaysia’s goal of achieving a 45% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 2030,” added Dato’ Razali.
