Malaysia’s New Incentive Framework (NIF) adopts an outcome-based assessment approach.
Manufacturing projects will be evaluated through the NIA Scorecard (National Investment Aspirations Scorecard), which assesses the actual contributions of investment projects to the national economy, the environment and long-term development.
One of the key areas, Enhance Sustainability Practices, focuses on encouraging businesses to use resources more efficiently during production, reduce waste and minimise their environmental impact.
Businesses can demonstrate their sustainable practices in four areas:
- Adopting sustainable and recycled materials to promote the circular economy and sustainable supply chains
- Developing wastewater management and waste reduction plans, while adopting innovative treatment technologies
- Using alternative water sources, water-saving equipment and water-efficient processes
- Improving energy efficiency through the utilisation of production residues, waste-to-energy technologies and solar energy
By integrating sustainability into manufacturing processes—from materials, waste and water resources to energy management—businesses can move towards a greener and more efficient future.
马来西亚《新投资框架》（New Incentive Framework，NIF）采用以成果为导向的评估方式。
制造业项目将通过 NIA Scorecard（国家投资愿景评分卡）进行评估，以衡量投资项目对国家经济、环境及长期发展的实际贡献。
其中，提升可持续实践（Enhance Sustainability Practices）重点推动企业在生产过程中更有效地使用资源、减少浪费，并降低对环境的影响。
企业可从以下四个方向展现其可持续实践：
- 采用可持续及再生材料，推动循环经济与可持续供应链
- 制定废水管理及废弃物减量计划，并采用创新处理技术
- 使用替代水源、节水设备及节水工艺
- 提升能源效率，利用生产残余物、废弃物能源化技术及太阳能
从材料、废弃物、水资源到能源管理，将可持续理念融入制造流程，有助于推动企业迈向更绿色、更高效的未来。
