Who We Are
Business Council for Sustainable Development in Malaysia (BCSDM) was formed because the business community was concerned for the Environment.
BCSDM strives:
- To create awareness in sustainable development (SD)
- To get the business community involved in SD
- To be the main link between the Government and the business community
- To be an information exchange on successful SD practices
- To work with national and global bodies towards attaining SD
