SAM Engineering & Equipment (M) Bhd (SAMEE) has been recognised as Company of the Year (Aerospace & Equipment) – ESG Leadership Award at the Sustainability & CSR Malaysia Awards 2025, the country’s largest and most prestigious ESG and sustainability awards platform. In addition, SAMEE’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ng Boon Keat, received the Asia Sustainability Personality Award (ESG Leadership) for his personal commitment to advancing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the local community.
This marks the Group’s first recognition as Company of the Year in the Aerospace & Equipment category. The dual accolades reflect SAMEE’s continued progress in ESG performance, following its inclusion in the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index earlier this year.
Organised annually by CSR Malaysia, an initiative under Pertubuhan Amal Tanggungjawab Kemapanan Dan Korporat Malaysia, the event celebrates outstanding achievements in ESG and CSR by Malaysian listed companies, multinational corporations (MNCs), and government linked companies (GLCs). This year’s awards ceremony was officiated by YB Datuk Seri Dr. Noraini Binti Ahmad, Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development, and attended by some 800 corporate leaders and dignitaries.
As part of its long-term CSR focus on inclusive education, SAMEE also presented a cheque of RM200,000 at the ceremony to expand its flagship SAM Titian Harapan programme. The initiative provides sustained support for both school-level and diploma students, with the aim of nurturing future-ready talent and addressing cycles of disadvantage through targeted intervention.
Mr. Ng’s recognition as Asia Sustainability Personality underscores the role of leadership in embedding sustainability into business strategy and culture. Through his advocacy for charitable initiatives, employee engagement, and ESG integration, SAMEE continues to reinforce its position as a responsible corporate citizen in the region.
