Empowering Orphanages: Integrating ESG Principles for Sustainable Child Welfare

In Malaysia, the adoption of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles by organizations for sustainability has been gaining momentum.However, orphanages encounter unique obstacles in effectively implementing ESG practices, including resource constraints, limited awareness, intricate social dynamics, and governance complexities.Therefore, this study explores the integration of ESG principles into orphanage operations as a comprehensive framework to enhance their effectiveness and sustainability.The findings will guide Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), policymakers, and government agencies in aligning funding and support programs with orphanages committed to ESG principles, ensuring more effective resource use and greater impact.Ultimately, by addressing environmental sustainability, social impact, and effective governance, this study seeks to create lasting positive impacts on the lives of orphaned children, promote sustainable development, and contribute to the realization of Sustainable Development Goal 10.
