Malaysia has taken a bold step in its sustainability journey by rolling out B20 biodiesel at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). This move upgrades the current B10 blend to a 20% palm-based biodiesel mix, significantly reducing the use of fossil fuels in ground transport vehicles. It’s part of the country’s broader commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.


But this shift goes beyond environmental benefits. It delivers triple-impact value — protecting the planet, supporting local livelihoods, and strengthening Malaysia’s green economy. The increased demand for palm-based biodiesel directly supports smallholder farmers, many of whom rely on sustainable agriculture as a primary income source. It’s a strong example of how climate solutions can be inclusive and socially empowering.


For businesses seeking meaningful CSR directions, this initiative offers more than inspiration — it presents a blueprint. From supporting clean energy transitions to partnering on supply chain sustainability and community-based reforestation, there are countless ways corporates and SMEs can align their CSR efforts with national goals.

At Light-Houze, we believe stories like this show what’s possible when values turn into action. Real change doesn’t happen in silos — it happens when people, purpose, and partnerships come together. And we’re here to help businesses make that change real, measurable, and lasting.
