KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As global conversations around energy transition and decarbonisation intensify, LRQA reaffirmed its commitment to driving change and supporting businesses through this critical transformation at Energy Asia 2025 and Energy and Nature Forum, held in Kuala Lumpur. This flagship conference brought together energy leaders, policymakers, investors, and sustainability advocates to accelerate Asia's pathway towards a low-carbon future.
With the theme of this year's event centred around 'Charting Pathways for a Sustainable Energy Future,' Energy Asia 2025 served as a pivotal platform to explore innovative strategies for achieving net-zero ambitions, energy security, and industrial resilience.
LRQA contributed to the dialogue at a dedicated booth on the exhibition floor, where the team engaged with both existing partners and potential clients. Through in-depth discussions and knowledge sharing, LRQA showcased its deep industry and regulatory expertise across assurance, ESG, and energy sector risk management, highlighting how its integrated services can support organisations in navigating the complex journey of energy transition.
Key takeaways from the event included:
- A heightened emphasis on data-driven strategies to accelerate decarbonisation.
- Increased interest in independent assurance and verification for sustainability claims.
- Every just energy transition journey is unique and has its own unique risks, opportunities, and challenges - across technical, social, biodiversity, carbon, collaboration, and cost.
- The growing importance of building resilience in energy infrastructure through robust risk management and ESG governance.
Reflecting on LRQA's participation, Leanne Halliday, Global Head of Energy and Renewables at LRQA, said, "Our presence at Energy Asia 2025 allowed us to deepen strategic partnerships while learning from the experiences of global and regional energy leaders, understanding their unique challenges on their individual energy transition journeys.
