ELF 2022: "Educate, Sustain, Grow" was held at the Sunway University, Kuala Lumpur in-person after a two years of virtual events due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This theme was chosen with the goal of stimulating critical reflections on Malaysia's advancements in the Environmental, Social and Governance sphere in times of change. The discussions we had dived deep into Malaysia’s progress in doing so which covered a wide range of topics, including workplace inequality and diversity, as well as corporate activism, climate action and green investing.
With 11 guest speakers and 18 student ambassadors, the two days event marked its successful completion on the 24th of July 2022.
