Join us for this high-level, practitioner-led seminar for an analysis of the NAPBHR and its effects on ESG implementation in Malaysia. Registrations close 29 October 2025.
DATE CHANGE: This post has been updated on 15 October 2025 to reflect the new seminar date of 5 November 2025. This rescheduling is due to the traffic closures for the ASEAN Summit on 26 to 28 October.
On 12 August 2025, the National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights (2025-2030) (“NAPBHR”) was launched after 3 years of development. It is the first national framework that integrates human rights into business and corporate governance for Malaysia.
The NAPBHR marks a paradigm shift in the narrative of the role of business: all businesses operating in Malaysia are expected to respect human rights, regardless of their size or sector, or location. It also applies to Malaysian businesses operating overseas. This is a new cornerstone that brings Malaysia in alignment with evolving global norms on business practices, such as ESG. Importantly, the NAPBHR is an opportunity for companies to strengthen their long-term sustainability strategies to stay competitive domestically, regionally, and internationally.
This seminar is designed to provide a clear, practitioner-led analysis of the NAPBHR. Conducted by Kiu Jia Yaw, this session will provide you with a holistic understanding of the NAPBHR and help you plan how to integrate its expectations into your organisation’s existing processes (e.g., legal compliance, corporate governance, sustainability).

This would be a critical session for advancing your thought leadership and ensuring your organisation is prepared for this rapidly evolving area.
