Scout360 and Saimatrix Integrated Partner to Provide Hotels with Reliable ESG Data Management System and Capacity Building
Sep 29,2025 
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 26 September 2025
Scout360 has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saimatrix Integrated PLT, a sustainability-focused training and consultancy firm, to strengthen ESG for hotel operations across Malaysia. This partnership brings together practical ESG capacity building and a credible, audit-ready digital platform—supporting hotels that want to manage sustainability more effectively and meet rising stakeholder expectations.
Why This Partnership Matters
Hotels continue to face two major challenges in ESG for hotel implementation:
Saimatrix will lead the training and consultancy components, ensuring hotel teams gain practical ESG competencies. Scout360 complements this by providing a streamlined platform for ESG data collection, analysis, and reporting aligned with recognised frameworks such as SEDG, GRI and Bursa Malaysia’s sustainability requirements.
Together, the collaboration removes the technical and operational barriers that often slow down ESG for hotel adoption.
What Hotels Can Expect
Through this MoU, both organisations are committing to support hotels with a structured and reliable pathway for ESG improvement. The partnership will:
• Deliver hotel-specific ESG workshops that build practical skills.
• Simplify compliance reporting through a platform that reduces administrative burden.
• Help hotels track credible data across energy, water, waste, and social impact.
• Strengthen certification readiness and build confidence with auditors, guests, and corporate clients.
What Our Leaders Are Saying
Dr. Liew Chin Seng, CEO of Scout360, shared:
“Without credible data, ESG reports can be doubtful and sometimes even labelled as greenwashing. Through proper software, we want to make ESG management less overwhelming and ensure hotels are audit-ready from the start.”
Dr. Balan Balasundram, CEO of Saimatrix, added:
“This collaboration ensures that Malaysian hotels can move from ESG awareness to measurable progress, backed by credible data to track hotels’ ESG performance.”
Looking Ahead
Malaysia is positioning itself as a leader in sustainable tourism within Southeast Asia. For hotels, embracing ESG for hotel practices is no longer optional, it is central to competitiveness, reputation, and long-term resilience. Guests are becoming more discerning, and corporate clients increasingly use ESG as a procurement benchmark.
Through this partnership, Scout360 and Saimatrix are empowering hotels with the knowledge and tools needed to strengthen ESG reporting and performance. By combining Saimatrix’s hands-on expertise with Scout360’s technology, hotels can track what matters, demonstrate measurable progress, and communicate their sustainability story with confidence.
For Scout360, this MoU marks a significant milestone. As an early-stage startup, our mission has always been to transform ESG from a challenge into an opportunity. Collaborating with Saimatrix enables us to advance that mission in an industry where impact is both visible and meaningful.
