Building on the success of workshops conducted with private sector stakeholders in the palm oil and garment industries in 2024, MY Voice has designed a series of comprehensive learning programmes for 2025. These initiatives aim to support Malaysian palm oil and garment companies in establishing and implementing effective social compliance systems aligned with international standards, particularly the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP).
In 2025, MY Voice will offer three training workshops and two TenSquared programmes, covering a range of critical topics.
