PETALING JAYA: Eco World Development Group Bhd (EcoWorld Malaysia) will continue its emphasis on the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects when carrying out its projects.

       Executive director, president, and chief executive officer Datuk Chang Khim Wah said ESG practices have been weaved into the group’s projects from the conceptualisation, design and construction stages.
