Synergy ESCO, a Malaysian unit of Hong Kong-listed Unity Group Holdings International Ltd (Unity), has unveiled the world’s first ESG Light certified for carbon credit eligibility, marking a significant milestone in sustainable technology innovation.
Launched at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) during the Carbon Credit and ESG Ecosystem 2025 Conference, the ESG Light consumes just 4.5 watts of power and boasts an estimated lifespan of 180,000 hours—approximately 40 years at 12 hours daily use. This breakthrough energy-efficient lighting solution offers up to 89% energy savings.
The product’s longevity and efficiency position it as a valuable financial instrument in carbon markets, enabling businesses and developers to reduce emissions and earn carbon credits through verified emissions reductions.
“ESG Light is no longer just a product—it is a financial tool enabling sustainable development with measurable impact,” said Mansfield Wong, Chairman and CEO of Unity Group Holding International Ltd.
The event also saw the soft launch of the Unity-UPM Sustainability Research and Development Centre, which aims to accelerate innovation in carbon reduction technologies and sustainable practices.
Unity is also partnering with Shine Plus Group Sdn Bhd to integrate ESG Light into smart digital farming, targeting a 70% reduction in energy use and a tenfold increase in crop yields, while supporting ESG compliance through carbon tracking in food systems.
As part of the Selangor State Government Green Initiative Programme, Unity aims to reduce 25 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions in Malaysia through the ESG Light and its Green One Day community programme across 6,000 strata properties.
The conference drew over 200 participants, including government and industry leaders such as Datuk Dr Tan Yew Chong, Advisor to the Ministry of Plantation and Commodities, and Dr Nor Hanizan bin Sahib, Head of Operations Development at LPHS.
The event highlighted the urgent need for scalable green technologies aligned with national decarbonisation and sustainable finance goals.
Unity is preparing for a secondary listing on Bursa Malaysia to enhance liquidity and investor interest as it expands its energy management footprint in the country.
