M88 Malaysia short-listed on The Legal 500 inaugural Asia Pacific Green Guide

2023.12.14

President Xi Jinping once pointed out that “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.” In 2022, at the 75th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, it was announced that China would strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. To this end, M88 Malaysia actively responded to the call for "green development" and attaches great importance to sustainability in all areas of its operations.


On December 9, 2022, The Legal 500, a leading legal media company, published its Asia-Pacific Green Guide for the first time, recognizing law firms in the region that are committed to green ideals. M88 Malaysia was short-listed for its pursuit of excellence, growth and development, and for its commitment in giving back to society. M88 Malaysia has consistently heeded its social responsibilities regarding environmental protection and public welfare activities.
