RATIONALE

In a time marked by increasing global division and diversity, YSD stands resolute in championing the messages of inclusivity and sustainability. To stand shoulder to shoulder, embracing our unique differences, is to witness empowerment in our collective form, truly emphasising ‘All for All’. Much like clay inspiring endless possibilities, YSD is committed to moulding a better future, working alongside the three Sime Darby Companies and our project partners, as we continue to remind ourselves that our opposites are not contradictory; they’re complementary.
