AWANTEC PARTNERS WITH ESG MALAYSIA TO ELEVATE SUSTAINABILITY PROFESSIONALS’ AI-DRIVEN LEARNING SOLUTIONS

CYBERJAYA, December 14, 2023 - AwanBiru Technology Berhad (“Awantec”) through its fully-owned subsidiary, Awantec Systems Sdn Bhd (“ASSB”) continues to strengthen its position as the country’s leading information communication technology training and certification service provider by equipping sustainability professionals with knowledge in Environment, Social, and Governance (“ESG”). This was made possible through its strategic partnership with Pertubuhan Alam Sekitar, Sosial dan Tadbir Urus Malaysia (“ESG Malaysia”), an organisation that supports Malaysia’s ESG transformation.

This partnership will solidify ASSB’s prominence at the forefront of digital learning solutions in Malaysia by offering a comprehensive range of training solutions that are not only highly relevant but also at the forefront of innovation through its collaboration with Skillsoft. This AI-driven platform offers a comprehensive range of training solutions, which include ESG contents that can be found in more than 1,000 related compliance topics. 

Within the framework of this collaboration, ESG Malaysia is committed to expand the reach of ESG content and training courses through the AI-driven Skillsoft Percipio platform offered by Awantec known as ESG Digital Academy. The platform allows organisations to identify and measure their workforce’s skill proficiencies while empowering them to stay competitive and relevant. 

Skillsoft's AI-driven online learning platform, known for its expertly curated, high-quality skilling pathways mapped to the world's most in-demand competencies, accelerates learning in a personalised and accessible way. Offering a blend of self-paced courses, hands-on practice, virtual live online classes, and coaching, Skillsoft allows individuals to close skill gaps, anytime, anywhere, and on any device. As Awantec, a HRDCorp Certified Training Provider, organisations can utilise their Human Resource Development Corporation (“HRD”) levy through Skillsoft.

ESG Malaysia’s concerted efforts will target a broad audience, encompassing both the public and private sectors. This strategic alliance seeks to make cutting-edge ESG content more accessible and affordable for a diverse range of learners and organisations, particularly environmental and sustainable practitioners who want to enhance their knowledge on sustainability reporting, renewable energy and green technologies, and sustainable transportation, among others. 

“Awantec's strategic collaboration with ESG Malaysia is particularly timely, occurring in an era when sustainability, ethics, and corporate governance have become integral aspects of assessing non-financial performance indicators and, in turn, the overall health and longevity of businesses. Our collaboration with Skillsoft has harnessed a suite of products and solutions to craft an accessible, affordable, and user-friendly digital learning platform.” Awantec’s Chief Executive Officer, En. Azlan Zainal Abidin said.
