– Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Berhad has secured esteemed honours at the 2025 Seek People & Purpose Awards, taking home the Gold Award for Best Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) in recognition of its workplace transformation initiatives that have redefined corporate culture across the organisation.
The prestigious accolade demonstrates Carlsberg Malaysia’s success in embedding DE&I as a strategic business priority over a four-year journey—positioning the company as a leader in fostering a workplace culture that not only champions diversity but also drives sustainable business and social impact, setting a benchmark for other organisations across the region.
Guided by the company’s purpose of Brewing for a Better Today and Tomorrow, Carlsberg Malaysia has implemented a comprehensive framework focused on four key pillars: Business Priority, Diverse Representation, Equal Opportunities, and Inclusive Culture.
“We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition,” said Choy Yen Li, People & Culture Director at Carlsberg Malaysia. “This award is a testament to the collective efforts of our leadership and employees in fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.”
“At Carlsberg Malaysia, we believe that diversity and inclusion are not just values—they are business imperatives. This award reflects our commitment to creating a culture where every voice is heard, every individual is respected, and everyone has the opportunity to grow. We are proud of how far we’ve come, and even more excited about the journey ahead as we continue to brew a better today and tomorrow for all,” said Stefano Clini, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia.
Carlsberg Malaysia’s DE&I initiatives span multiple areas of impact. The company achieved 63% female representation in the Leadership Team since 2022, while implementing enhanced flexible work arrangements, expanded parental leave, and improved facilities for employees with disabilities. Carlsberg Malaysia has also developed inclusive hiring practices, internal mobility programs, and partnerships with organisations like Enabling Academy to support neurodivergent individuals.
Cultural engagement remains a cornerstone of the company’s approach, with celebrations of all major festivals and hosting of open dialogues such as “Jom! Breakfast with Leaders” to foster belonging and inclusion. These efforts extend beyond the workplace through collaborations with LeadWomen and pioneer member of the ASEAN Inclusivity Collective (AIC), to drive change across the broader business community.
Carlsberg Malaysia’s DE&I efforts are deeply integrated into its ESG commitments, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on gender equality and reducing inequalities.
