IMPACT investment and advisory outfit Asia Platinum Capital Bhd (APC) marked a major milestone on May 25 by sealing three strategic memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with leading regional and international partners in the ESG (environment, social and governance) and sustainable investment space.
Held in conjunction with the ASEAN Leadership & Partnership Forum 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, the event aimed to drive forward regional transformation in climate finance, next-generation technologies and ESG integration across ASEAN and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
Three key partnerships were established with:
South Pole: APC’s partnership with the Swiss climate solutions consultant focuses on the development of high-integrity carbon assets across the ASEAN region that could contribute towards climate finance into nature and innovation projects that will drive measurable climate impact.
Group KS & EDENA: A strategic alliance to collaborate in the formation of an international consortium for the establishment of a proposed Malaysia’s first STO (security token offering) exchange with a specific focus on ASEAN carbon credit tokenization and integrating Islamic finance principles.
Integral Omni Inspire: This collaboration focuses on delivering ESG solutions and technologies tailored for markets across ASEAN and GCC countries, hence reinforcing APC’s ambition for global ESG leadership.
“Each of these partnerships reflects our firm belief that technology and smart partnerships are key to unlocking the true potential of ESG transformation across the region,” commented APC’s CEO Ramlie Kamsari who possesses 25 years of experience in capital market, Islamic finance and sustainable investment.
“We are honoured to work alongside visionary partners who share our long-term commitment to creating carbon wealth, impact investment and inclusive green development.”
South Pole’s regional director (climate projects for SEA & Oceania) Ladaporn Khunikakorn expects the partnership with APC to supports South Pole’s mission to deliver true climate impact by leveraging the power of carbon markets and accelerating much needed low-carbon transformations.
Group KS & Edena Capital Partners co-CEO Wook Lee hops its alliance with APC will make Malaysia as ASEAN’s premier hub for carbon credit tokenisation, thus creating a first-of-its-kind STO exchange that bridges traditional finance with blockchain innovation.
“By integrating Islamic finance principles with advanced tokenisation technology, we’re building a regulatory-compliant platform that will democratize access to sustainable investments while unlocking premium value for ASEAN’s assets on the global stage,” he envisages.
Finally, Integral Omni Inspire CEO Harry Lim is looking forward to localise advanced technologies that address real environmental challenges while creating value for communities, businesses and governments alike through its partnership with APC. – May 26, 2035
