Taylor’s Residence has received the Silver Award in the Relations with Local Communities (SME Category) at the Asia ESG Positive Impact Awards 2026 for LaunchPad, its flagship Menstrual Health & Period Poverty Service-Learning Programme.

‍

The regional awards were organised by the Asia ESG Positive Impact Consortium (A-EPIC) and jointly led by Star Media Group Berhad (Malaysia), KG Media Indonesia (Indonesia) and Inquirer Group of Companies (Philippines). Bringing together impactful environmental, social and governance initiatives from across the three countries, the awards recognise organisations creating meaningful and measurable change within their industries and communities.

The award was presented by YB Dato’ Sri Arthur Joseph Kurup, Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES), Malaysia.

From national recognition to the regional stage

The regional recognition follows LaunchPad’s Gold Award at the Malaysia ESG Positive Impact Awards in July. The achievement enabled Taylor’s Residence to progress to the Asia-level awards alongside fellow national Gold Award winners from Indonesia and the Philippines.

Receiving regional recognition among initiatives from across the three countries marks another significant milestone for LaunchPad. More importantly, it affirms the programme’s purpose and the impact that can be created when education, community engagement and service-learning come together to address a real social need.

LaunchPad is Taylor’s Residence’s flagship service-learning programme addressing menstrual health and period poverty through education, empowerment and community engagement. The programme supports underserved women and communities with greater dignity, confidence and knowledge, while giving Taylor’s Residence students opportunities to translate their learning into meaningful action.

Through their participation, residents engage directly with communities, develop a deeper understanding of the challenges surrounding menstrual health and contribute their time and skills towards creating practical and sustainable impact. In doing so, the programme seeks to nurture socially responsible students who recognise that meaningful change begins with empathy followed by action.

Strengthening LaunchPad’s impact

For Taylor’s Residence, the Silver Award represents more than an achievement. It reinforces the importance of creating a residential experience where students are encouraged to learn, serve and contribute beyond the boundaries of student accommodation.

The regional recognition also provides further encouragement to strengthen LaunchPad, extend its reach and explore how the programme can create greater impact beyond Malaysia and across the region.

This achievement was made possible through the dedication of the Taylor’s Residence team, resident volunteers and community partners who continue to bring LaunchPad’s purpose to life. Their collective commitment has enabled the programme to evolve while remaining grounded in the needs of the communities it serves.

While the recognition is meaningful, the impact that LaunchPad can continue creating matters even more. Taylor’s Residence remains committed to building on this momentum, creating more opportunities for residents to lead with purpose and supporting communities through meaningful, sustained action.
