KUALA LUMPUR: PLUS Malaysia Berhad has emerged as the winner of the Asia Pacific StrategicRISK Award in the Risk Programme in the recent Annual Conference Risk Forum 2019 in Singapore.
The StrategicRISK Award winners were independently judged by a panel of hand-picked risk experts.
The winners were judged on their risk programme meeting the changing needs of the organization and how it was effectively embedded within the company’s DNA.
Managing director Datuk Azman Ismail said it is a clear testament of its team’s ability to engineer a robust risk management system.
“Their commitment and sacrifices are evident as we were picked as the winner over leading world class organisations like Singapore’s Changi, which is the world’s most awarded airport and Bangkok’s Thai Union, a global seafood leader in the finals,” he said in a statement.
Executive publisher of StrategicRISK in Europe, Middle East and Asia-Pacific William Sanders said the key factor that placed Plus ahead of the other candidates is their authenticity in their approach.
“Plus demonstrated that they not only understand risk management theatrically, but truly believed in it and are actively applying it,” he said.
The Asia-Pacific Awards are an important way to recognise and reward organizations and individuals who can demonstrate they have gone the extra mile in 2018 to introduce or improve their risk management strategies in the region, he added.
