ICT Zone Asia Bhd, Malaysia’s pioneer technology financing outfit, has been honoured with the environmental, social and governance (ESG) honours at the Asian-Oceanian Computing Industry Organization (ASOCIO) Awards 2025 held recently during the ASOCIO Digital Summit 2025 in Taipei, Taiwan.
Bringing together government, industry and academic leaders from 24 Asian-Oceanian economies to accelerate digital transformation and AI (artificial intelligence)-driven innovation across the region, the Summit is deemed one of the most influential technology gatherings in the region.
Hosted by the Taiwan Innovative Software and Services Association (TISSA) and co-organised by Taiwan’s Digital Affairs Ministry, the 2025 summit welcomed more than 400 participants, including national ICT associations, global digital leaders and top-tier technology enterprises.
Themed AI Shaping Digital Asia, the event was focused on advancing smart government, AI infrastructure, digital talent development, cloud services and sustainable technology ecosystems.
It also featured a Global AI Impact Hub, innovation showcases and recognition ceremonies for outstanding achievements in digital transformation.
Having established itself as Malaysia’s pioneer in sustainable ICT solutions, ICT Zone’s flagship Carbon Neutral Computing Services (CNCS) – the first of its kind in Malaysia – enables organisations offset ICT-related carbon emissions while extending the lifespan of IT assets through refurbishment and remarketing.
To date, CNCS has enabled clients to offset more than 428 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent emissions.
Certified with ISO 14001:2015 and recognised by EcoVadis for its sustainability performance, ICT Zone’s initiatives also include the MyHIJAU-certified Device-as-a-Service (DaaS 360) solution which integrates financing, hardware, software and device lifecycle management under one ESG-aligned framework.
“This ESG Award from ASOCIO affirms our belief that technology and sustainability must move hand-in-hand,” enthused ICT Zone’s managing director and CEO Tommy Lim Kok Kwang.
“Through our TechFin model, we enable organisations to digitalise responsibly by reducing their carbon footprint, promoting device reuse and creating positive social impact across ASEAN.”
Added Lim: “Our goal is to build a digital ecosystem where innovation drives both profitability and purpose.”
Beyond Malaysia, ICT Zone has actively engaged with industry stakeholders across ASEAN to promote sustainable technology practices.
In 2025, the group co-hosted ESG Unplugged alongside ESGAM and HP by convening C-suite leaders to discuss inclusive growth and sustainable transformation.
Additionally, ICT Zone has also participated in knowledge-sharing forums such as the Malaysiakini Top in Tech Series and the Bursa Carbon Exchange Forum, thus contributing thought leadership to Malaysia’s low-carbon transition.
Aligned with ASOCIO’s mission of fostering cross-border collaboration and responsible digital leadership, ICT Zone’s win of the ASOCIO ESG award reinforces Malaysia’s growing influence in advancing ESG innovation within Asia-Oceania’s digital economy.
At the close of yesterday’s market trading, ICT Zone was unchanged at 16.5 sen with 1.35 million shares traded, thus valuing the company at RM131 mil. – Nov 15, 2025
