In his welcome address, Datuk William Ng, Vice Chairman of Enterprise Asia, stated, “In an era marked by unprecedented challenges and transformation, it is the enterprises and leaders who dare to innovate, uphold responsible business values, and commit to sustainable progress that will define the future. Tonight, we are here to celebrate not just their business success, but their resilience, foresight, and positive impact on society and the environment.”.
