Sarawak Biodiversity Centre (SBC) "is on the right track in" advancing sustainable practices and contributing to Sarawak’s long-term environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals through its research in biodiversity, conservation, and sustainable use of biological resources.
SBC’s partnership with Sarawak’s indigenous communities in documenting traditional knowledge, not only supports cultural preservation but also enhances bioprospecting efforts, discovering valuable natural compounds with potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and sustainable industries. These partnerships embody the social aspect of ESG, fostering community inclusivity and economic opportunities in ways that protect local biodiversity.
Through scientific research, community engagement, and innovative practices, SBC’s work showcases Sarawak’s commitment to environmental stewardship. Initiatives such as reforestation, microalgae research, and species conservation further support carbon sequestration, ecosystem health, and responsible resource use, directly contribute to Sarawak’s broader ESG objectives.
