As a Strategic Partner, Kenanga Investors Berhad ("KIB") plays a key role in supporting this initiative, reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible investment. Since its inception, KIB's employees, distribution partners, and clients have actively participated in the programme's beach clean-up efforts.

"Kenanga Investors is proud to continue its support of BEST for this meaningful initiative. Our 'Invest for Good' ethos guides us in leading with purpose, integrity, and compassion, ensuring that our financial expertise and resources are leveraged to create a lasting, positive impact on the world. We are eager to help this programme achieve its objectives of raising awareness on the importance of eco-tourism and sustainable practices to preserve the rich biodiversity of our oceans for generations to come," said Datuk Wira Ismitz Matthew De Alwis, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of KIB.

This programme is further strengthened by the involvement of the PADI AWARE Foundation, which supports the Dive Against Debris® initiative. Through their global advocacy for marine conservation, PADI AWARE Foundation contributes valuable resources, expertise, and guidance to ensure effective data collection on underwater debris, driving policy changes for cleaner oceans.

The three-day programme will include:

  • Dive Against Debris® – Certified divers will conduct underwater cleanups, collecting and recording marine debris data to contribute to global conservation efforts.
  • Beach Cleanup – Volunteers will remove waste from the shoreline, preventing it from harming marine life and polluting coastal areas.
  • Environment Education – Interactive workshops and discussions will educate participants on ocean conservation, environmental awareness, responsible tourism and sustainable living practices.

"We are thrilled to continue our efforts through Phase 4 of this initiative. With the support of Kenanga Investors Berhad and PADI AWARE Foundation, we are making significant strides in protecting our oceans and fostering environmental responsibility," said Mohd Ariff Bin Ismail, Programme Director from BEST.
