Sime Darby Property Berhad (“Sime Darby Property” or the “Group”) has been awarded Silver in the Biodiversity Conservation category at the Asia ESG Positive Impact Awards 2026 for Hamilton Biodiversity Park (“HBDP”). The recognition underscores the Group’s continued commitment to embedding biodiversity conservation into the planning and development of its townships.
The Biodiversity Conservation category honours organisations that have delivered projects to conserve, restore and regenerate ecosystems while supporting their long-term sustainability.
Hamilton Biodiversity Park forms part of Sime Darby Property’s wider efforts to integrate biodiversity conservation into township development. Spanning approximately 284 acres within Hamilton Nilai City, the park is being transformed from a previously degraded landscape into a functioning ecological area that supports habitat preservation and ecosystem regeneration. Situated between the Galla Permanent Forest Reserve and a growing industrial township, the park also helps strengthen ecological connectivity through planned features such as a biodiversity corridor and nature trail.
Datuk Lai Shu Wei, Chief Marketing & Sales Officer of Sime Darby Property, said, “As a real estate player, our work goes beyond creating homes and townships. We also have a responsibility to consider the natural ecosystems that support the communities around them. Through Hamilton Biodiversity Park, we aim to contribute to biodiversity conservation in a way that complements development and supports our Purpose of Driving Real Estate as a Value Multiplier for People, Businesses, Economies and the Planet.”
Organised under the Asia ESG Positive Impact Consortium (“A-EPIC”), the Asia ESG Positive Impact Awards recognise organisations across Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines for their commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) principles.
A total of 54 Gold winners from the three participating countries advanced to the regional stage, where their initiatives were assessed by an international panel of judges. The awards also provide a platform for organisations to share best practices and encourage collaboration on climate resilience, responsible business, social equity and sustainable development across the region.
He added, “We thank A-EPIC and the judging panel for this recognition. It encourages us to continue incorporating biodiversity considerations into our developments and strengthening the role that nature plays within our communities.”
