About AZEC
The Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC) is a decarbonization cooperation framework led by Japan, partnering with 11 countries, including Australia and Southeast Asian nations. On August 21, the second ministerial meeting was held in Jakarta, Indonesia, with Japan represented by Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Koichi Hagiuda. The meeting adopted a joint statement reaffirming AZEC’s principles, including “Net Zero through Diverse Pathways” and “Simultaneous Realization of Decarbonization, Economic Growth, and Energy Security.” The statement also agreed on sector-specific initiatives aimed at decarbonizing the power, transportation, and industrial sectors over the next decade.
During the meeting, approximately 70 new cooperation projects were agreed upon between AZEC member countries and Japanese companies. Asuene was represented by Masaaki Hamada, Country Manager and Director of Asuene APAC, who also signed the MOU with Dasar Consulting.
Background of the Partnership
In the Asia-Pacific region, including Southeast Asia, the push for decarbonization is gaining momentum. The Malaysian government’s ambitious goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and the announcement of the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) in 2023 underscore this commitment. Against this backdrop, Asuene APAC and Dasar Consulting saw an opportunity to collaborate and promote ESG initiatives in Sarawak, Malaysia.
Among Malaysian states, Sarawak is a leader in renewable energy, hydroelectric power, and decarbonization efforts. With 13 industrial parks within its borders, the need for decarbonization and ESG initiatives among companies in the state is growing.
On the momentous occasion of the AZEC meeting, Asuene APAC and Dasar Consulting, headquartered in Sarawak, Malaysia, joined hands in a significant partnership. This collaboration is a testament to our shared commitment to promoting ESG initiatives in the state, and we are excited to embark on this journey together.
