Securing a sustainable future under new regulations

THE call for businesses to adopt greener operations is becoming increasingly urgent as Malaysia continues its march to a net-zero carbon emission future.

Shareholders and customers are becoming more sophisticated and discerning, meaning that corporate entities will need to cater to not only their needs but the needs of the world at large.

It is with this in mind that Pacific ESG was created, to empower businesses and communities with Energy Efficiency (EE) solutions to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

At a time where the market is saturated with renewable energy products such as solar PV systems, Pacific ESG stands out among the crowd by offering energy efficiency solutions to enrich the sustainability landscape.

These include Radiative Cooling Paints, a revolutionary Energy-Saving Device (ESDs) and a Radiative Cooling Film as solutions for practical and effective ways to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact.

As a leading provider of sustainable solutions, Pacific ESG, through its services, is committed to help clients achieve six out of the 17 SDGs that are adopted by all United Nations members.

At its heart is the desire to drive positive environmental and climate impact, by reducing carbon footprints and optimising energy consumption.

Pacific ESG teamed up with Wang Zheng Bhd to produce an innovative material that helps cooling by harnessing cutting-edge technology that efficiently reflects heat-inducing solar energy.

Preach and practise

Since its inception, Pacific ESG has always been an active participant in the net-zero carbon goal, reducing carbon footprint across all aspects of its operation.

Recently, the company applied its radiative cooling film onto the windows of client Wang Zheng Bhd’s whole office building, yielding very encouraging results.

Wang Zheng Bhd has partnered with Pacific ESG to produce the radiative cooling film.

This innovative material helps cooling by harnessing cutting-edge technology to efficiently reflect solar energy and blocks mid-infrared rays to the building exterior, which is unique compared to others.

It lowered the indoor temperature of buildings all through electricity-free cooling, which leads to substantial energy savings on air conditioning.

At the same time, the aesthetic appeal of Wang Zheng Bhd’s building is maintained without putting up shawls and cardboard onto window blinds anymore.

Pacific ESG is confident that the radiative cooling film will address the increasing demand for sustainable solutions in the office building sector.

“We see energy conservation as a pathway to more than just savings – it’s about creating forward-looking assets that appeal to conscious consumers and establish lasting value in a competitive market,” said Pacific ESG founder and director Shuen Wai Hung, adding that the company’s commitment creates sustainable environments and enhances long-term value and desirability of its energy efficiency solutions.

Shuen: ‘Pacific ESG’s commitment creates sustainable environments and enhances long-term value and desirability of our properties.’

Underlining these efforts are the sustainability certificates and awards accredited to Pacific ESG, most notably the MYHIJAU mark.

This is Malaysia’s official green recognition scheme endorsed by the government, bringing together certified products and services that meet local and international environmental standards under one single mark.

In essence, the impressive consolidation of the many local and international environmental standards highlights Pacific ESG’s strong commitment towards sustainability, as well as products that third-party tested and certified to be effective and safe.

Recently, the company also participated in the International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia (IGEM) 2024 exhibition in Kuala Lumpur – South-East Asia’s largest leading trade event for green technologies and eco-solutions.

It was a golden opportunity for Pacific ESG to showcase its innovative energy-saving solutions. Many visitors were intrigued by the potential of these solutions to seamlessly integrate into their operations.

Pacific ESG’s participation at the ENERtec Asia 2024 also marks a significant milestone as it provides the company much-needed exposure on the global stage.

The numerous positive feedback and interest generated during the event showed that Pacific ESG is on the right track in introducing these innovative technologies and solutions.

To better elucidate the green impact it has brought to the industry, several case studies comprising past and current clients need to be mentioned.

Energy-saving solutions

True energy savings is when energy is not consumed in the first place.

This ties back Pacific ESG’s revolutionary radiative cooling paint and film that provide “electricity-free cooling” for clients.

The specialised cooling paint reflects up to 95% of visible light, 15% more than the average paint on the market.

This is among the unique features that gets Pacific ESG’s clients coming back for more.

Also, Pacific ESG’s cooling paint and film reflect heat outward in the mid-infrared range with emissivity of over 95%.

This translates to a reduction of up to 3-5°C in indoor ambient temperature and up to 20-30°C for external surface temperature.

Yet, Pacific ESG is already looking ahead, driving continuous innovation to deliver better and greener sustainable solutions.

“We not only mitigate risks and enhance resilience but also pave the way for a more sustainable and prosperous future for generations to come,” said Pacific ESG founder, Datuk Andrew Chiu.

Chiu aims to pave the way for a more sustainable and prosperous future with Pacific ESG’s products.

Sustainability under new regulations

A prominent steel company was thrilled to record energy savings of 13.22% four weeks after installing a revolutionary product by Pacific ESG called the Energy Saving Device (ESD).

ESD leverages minerals with dielectric properties to increase electron density and conductivity. It enhances electric current flow to promote 7-15% electricity savings.

Another client, MAHA Chemicals Sdn Bhd, achieved an impressive 8.93% energy savings just 18 days after installing the ESD, highlighting the effectiveness of the solution.

Topping this record is another client that charted a monumental 11% energy savings under five weeks after implementing the product.

These successes are salient testimonies towards Pacific ESG’s vision to be the leader in providing energy efficiency solutions that revolutionise the way organisations manage and optimise their energy resources in Malaysia.

“We envision a world where businesses seamlessly integrate smart energy solutions to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs and contribute significantly to the global transition towards a low-carbon and sustainable energy ecosystem,” said Chiu.

This is crucial, as the Budget 2025 announced a carbon tax on the iron, steel and energy sector that is likely to arrive in 2026. Safe to say, Pacific ESG’s clients will be ready for it.

Furthermore, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) will be enforced on Jan 1 next year and is aimed at regulating energy consumption and promoting energy conservation across various sectors.

Sustainability is the name of the future, and businesses that do not uphold this key value will be left behind.

Such a future is achievable with energy-efficient solutions from Pacific ESG.
