Sustained Top 1% Global media company ranking and 2-Star Lister UNGCMYB’s recognition reinforce Astro’s commitment to sustainable innovation and national ESG leadership.
Astro Malaysia Holdings (Astro) is proud to share that it has sustained its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) score of 4.1 out of 5 in the December 2025 FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index assessment by global index provider FTSE Russell, retaining its position in the top 1% of media companies globally with a 100th percentile ranking. This achievement reinforces Astro’s continued commitment to responsible, transparent, and sustainable business practices across its operations.
Established by FTSE Russell, the FTSE4Good Index Series serves as a global benchmark measuring companies that demonstrate strong ESG standards and is widely referenced by responsible investors in assessing sustainable investment products. Based on this internationally recognised methodology, Astro was also awarded the Gold Award in the Telecommunications & Media category at TheEdge’s ESG Awards 2025.
Building on this momentum, Astro is honoured to be named a 2‑Star Lister in the ESG Select List 2025 by the UN Global Compact Network Malaysia & Brunei (UNGCMYB), recognised in the categories of ESG Breakthrough Innovation and Purposeful Partnership. The ESG Select List recognises organisations demonstrating measurable progress aligned with the UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Astro’s recognition in the ESG Breakthrough Innovation category is driven by its pioneering adoption of Extended Reality (XR) technology to decarbonise content production. By reducing reliance on physical set construction, location shoots, energy‑intensive lighting and material waste, XR has allowed Astro to significantly lower the environmental footprint of its productions while enhancing creative capabilities. Meanwhile, the Purposeful Partnership accolade reflects the launch of the Forward Faster Louder Programme with UNGCMYB, which leverages Astro’s media platforms to amplify ESG stories from corporates, MSMEs and individuals, strengthening national awareness and inspiring collective action through high‑impact storytelling.
As Malaysia’s leading media and content platform, Astro recognises its unique responsibility to influence positive change. Through its Voice For Good initiative, Astro broadcast a total of 12,000 hours of public service announcements (PSAs) and ESG-related content across its platforms last year. Astro will continue to use its reach to spotlight critical environmental and social issues, elevate underserved voices, spark nationwide conversations and catalyse meaningful action at scale.
Astro remains committed to advancing its ESG ambitions and the Group aims to play a meaningful role in shaping a stronger, resilient, and more sustainable Malaysia for future generations.
