Sustainability (FEBS) Conference 2024, organized by the Faculty

place over the next few days.
The theme of this year's conference, "Inclusive Development
for a Sustainable Future," reflects our collective commitment

in human, social, environmental, and economic domains. These
efforts are crucial in achieving sustainable development goals
(SDGs) that promote a balanced approach to growth and

At UNIMAS, we believe that sustainability is not just a goal but a
continuous journey. A journey that requires a collaborative spirit, innovative thinking, and a deep
commitment to creating a better future for all. This conference is a testament to that belief, bringing
together a diverse array of experts, scholars, and practitioners from around the world to share
insights and explore new ideas that will drive sustainable development forward.
I am particularly encouraged by the range of topics that will be explored during this conference. The
research papers and discussions will delve into inventive approaches, collaborations, and strategies
that align with the SDGs. Such initiatives are vital in addressing the complex challenges we face in
today's rapidly changing world, from climate change and social inequality to economic instability and
technological disruption.
I encourage all participants to engage actively in the sessions, share your valuable perspectives, and
take this opportunity to forge new collaborations and partnerships. Let us harness our collective
expertise and creativity to develop practical solutions that will lead to a more sustainable and
inclusive future.
In conclusion, I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the organizing committee, the

Wassalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh and a
warm welcome to all.
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Finance,
Economics, and Business Sustainability (FEBS) Conference 2024,
organized by the Faculty of Economics and Business at Universiti
Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). This year, we are honored to host
this significant event from the 18th to the 20th of September,
2024.
The theme of this year's conference, "Inclusive Development
for a Sustainable Future," reflects our shared commitment to
exploring innovative interventions across human, social,
environmental, and economic dimensions. These efforts are
crucial for achieving and driving sustainable goals in line with the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our
theme is a call to action for researchers, industry leaders, and
policymakers to come together to create a future that is not only
sustainable but also inclusive and equitable for all.
FEBS 2024 provides a vital platform for networking, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas among
academics, professionals, and industry practitioners. This aligns with our faculty's mission "to build a
responsible society through academic excellence, professionalism, and strategic collaboration with
industry and community." By fostering dialogue and collaboration, we aim to bridge the gap between
academic research and practical applications, ensuring that our collective efforts contribute to the
well-being of society and the environment.
I am confident that the insights shared and the partnerships forged during this conference will pave
the way for meaningful and impactful initiatives. I encourage all participants to engage fully in the
discussions, share your expertise, and explore new avenues for collaboration. Your contributions are
vital in driving forward the agenda for sustainable and inclusive development.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the organizing committee, our
distinguished speakers, and all participants for their invaluable contributions to making this
conference a success. It is your dedication and enthusiasm that make FEBS a platform for learning,
growth, and transformation.
Thank you for joining us at FEBS 2024. I wish you all a productive and inspiring conference. Let us
work together to shape a sustainable future for generations to come.
Warm regards,
Prof Dr. Rossazana Ab Rahim
Dean, Faculty of Economics and Business
Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS)
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Distinguished Guests, Esteemed Speakers, and Participants,
A warm welcome to the Finance, Economics, and Business
Sustainability (FEBS) Conference 2024. I am truly honoured to have
you all with us here in Kuching, Sarawak, for this significant gathering,
where minds from around the globe converge to share insights,
experiences, and innovations that drive the agenda of sustainable
development. The FEBS 2024 theme, "Inclusive Growth for a
Sustainable Future," is both timely and critical as we navigate our
time's complex challenges and opportunities. The concept of
sustainability has evolved beyond environmental concerns to
encompass a broader spectrum of human, social, and economic
dimensions. As we embark on this three-day journey of knowledge
exchange, I invite you to consider the multifaceted nature of
sustainability and its implications for the world we are shaping for
future generations.
The FEBS Conference 2024 is not just a platform for academic discourse but a collaborative space
where ideas are transformed into actionable strategies. In the context of finance, economics, and
business, sustainability is no longer an option but a necessity. The financial sector plays a pivotal role
in mobilizing the resources needed to drive sustainable initiatives. By integrating environmental,
social, and governance (ESG) factors into investment decisions, financial institutions can help steer
capital towards projects that generate long-term value while mitigating risks associated with climate
change, social inequality, and other pressing global challenges.
Businesses, too, have a critical role to play. In today’s interconnected world, companies are
increasingly held accountable not only for their financial performance but also for their social and
environmental impact. The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has evolved into a more
comprehensive approach, where sustainability is embedded into the core business strategy. This
approach not only enhances brand reputation and customer loyalty but also contributes to the
overall well-being of society. Economists, on the other hand, are tasked with redefining traditional
models of growth. The pursuit of GDP growth at all costs has led to significant environmental
degradation, social disparities, and economic instability. We must rethink our economic systems to
prioritize sustainability. As we gather here in Sarawak, a region known for its rich biodiversity and
cultural heritage, we are reminded of the delicate balance between development and conservation.
The indigenous communities of Sarawak have long understood the importance of living in harmony
with nature, and their wisdom offers valuable lessons for sustainable development.
Thank you, and let’s make this conference not just productive, but a blast—because who says we
can’t have a little fun while shaping the future? Here's to a conference full of bold ideas, big laughs,
and a better tomorrow!

FEBS-Programmed Book Conference September

  • 3.
    Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhand a warm welcome to all. It is my great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all attendees of the Finance, Economics, and Business Sustainability (FEBS) Conference 2024, organized by the Faculty of Economics and Business at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). As we gather here from the 18th to the 20th of September, 2024, I am filled with optimism about the meaningful exchanges and impactful discussions that will take place over the next few days. The theme of this year's conference, "Inclusive Development for a Sustainable Future," reflects our collective commitment to advancing knowledge and fostering innovative interventions in human, social, environmental, and economic domains. These efforts are crucial in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) that promote a balanced approach to growth and progress, ensuring that no one is left behind. At UNIMAS, we believe that sustainability is not just a goal but a continuous journey. A journey that requires a collaborative spirit, innovative thinking, and a deep commitment to creating a better future for all. This conference is a testament to that belief, bringing together a diverse array of experts, scholars, and practitioners from around the world to share insights and explore new ideas that will drive sustainable development forward. I am particularly encouraged by the range of topics that will be explored during this conference. The research papers and discussions will delve into inventive approaches, collaborations, and strategies that align with the SDGs. Such initiatives are vital in addressing the complex challenges we face in today's rapidly changing world, from climate change and social inequality to economic instability and technological disruption. I encourage all participants to engage actively in the sessions, share your valuable perspectives, and take this opportunity to forge new collaborations and partnerships. Let us harness our collective expertise and creativity to develop practical solutions that will lead to a more sustainable and inclusive future. In conclusion, I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the organizing committee, the speakers, and all participants for making this conference possible.

    Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhand a warm welcome to all. It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Finance, Economics, and Business Sustainability (FEBS) Conference 2024, organized by the Faculty of Economics and Business at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS).

Our theme is a call to action for researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers to come together to create a future that is not only sustainable but also inclusive and equitable for all.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, DistinguishedGuests, Esteemed Speakers, and Participants, A warm welcome to the Finance, Economics, and Business Sustainability (FEBS) Conference 2024. I am truly honoured to have you all with us here in Kuching, Sarawak, for this significant gathering, where minds from around the globe converge to share insights, experiences, and innovations that drive the agenda of sustainable development. The FEBS 2024 theme, "Inclusive Growth for a Sustainable Future," is both timely and critical as we navigate our time's complex challenges and opportunities. The concept of sustainability has evolved beyond environmental concerns to encompass a broader spectrum of human, social, and economic dimensions. As we embark on this three-day journey of knowledge exchange, I invite you to consider the multifaceted nature of sustainability and its implications for the world we are shaping for future generations. The FEBS Conference 2024 is not just a platform for academic discourse but a collaborative space where ideas are transformed into actionable strategies. In the context of finance, economics, and business, sustainability is no longer an option but a necessity. The financial sector plays a pivotal role in mobilizing the resources needed to drive sustainable initiatives. By integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into investment decisions, financial institutions can help steer capital towards projects that generate long-term value while mitigating risks associated with climate change, social inequality, and other pressing global challenges. Businesses, too, have a critical role to play. In today’s interconnected world, companies are increasingly held accountable not only for their financial performance but also for their social and environmental impact. The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has evolved into a more comprehensive approach, where sustainability is embedded into the core business strategy. This approach not only enhances brand reputation and customer loyalty but also contributes to the overall well-being of society. Economists, on the other hand, are tasked with redefining traditional models of growth. The pursuit of GDP growth at all costs has led to significant environmental degradation, social disparities, and economic instability. We must rethink our economic systems to prioritize sustainability. As we gather here in Sarawak, a region known for its rich biodiversity and cultural heritage, we are reminded of the delicate balance between development and conservation. The indigenous communities of Sarawak have long understood the importance of living in harmony with nature, and their wisdom offers valuable lessons for sustainable development. Thank you, and let’s make this conference not just productive, but a blast—because who says we can’t have a little fun while shaping the future? Here's to a conference full of bold ideas, big laughs, and a better tomorrow! Prof Dr Evan Lau Chairperson of FEBS 2024 Faculty of Economics and Business Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS)
