Artmatrix Technology, established in 2005, is a specialist office furniture manufacturer headquartered in Balakong, Selangor. The group positions itself as a one-stop solution provider in the design, manufacture and supply of office furniture.
Within the manufacturing value chain, Artmatrix Technology operates in the midstream segment, acting as:
#01
A design and engineering hub for system furniture.
#02
A manufacturer and assembler, combining in-house production
with outsourced processes to qualified vendors.
#03
A project integrator, coordinating design, production, logistics
and installation for large corporate fit-outs.
ESG Journey
Over two decades, the company has expanded from a domestic SME into a regional player with showrooms in the United Kingdom, Indonesia and Thailand, and product footprints across five continents.
A critical inflection point came between 2010 and 2012, when Artmatrix Technology acquired an abandoned industrial building and fully refurbished it into a “Green Factory” aligned with the Green Building Index (GBI) industrial tool — at a time when Malaysia had almost no framework for certifying green factories.
This decision effectively anchored ESG at the heart of Artmatrix Technology’s business model long before such practices became mainstream.
Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals
Today, the company’s initiatives span environmental, social and governance pillars, enabling Artmatrix Technology to contribute to 11 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Environmental, Social & Governance in Practice
Environmental
Artmatrix Technology’s environmental focus centres on waste management, energy efficiency, carbon footprint reduction and green-building performance. Waste reduction is enforced through ISO 14001 practices, with aluminium, steel, plastics and glass recycled via certified partners.
Products are designed to achieve 90–95% recyclability, supported by a Product Stewardship Policy. Energy consumption is tracked through multiple meters to enable precision monitoring and continuous efficiency improvement. The company is also transitioning to renewable energy through rooftop solar installation financed via green loans.
Maintaining its GBI-certified green factory and multiple international eco-labels strengthens compliance, export competitiveness and alignment with global green-building requirements — reinforcing its position as an environmentally responsible manufacturer.
Social
Social priorities revolve around fair and decent work, labour-rights compliance and community engagement. Artmatrix ensures equal treatment across its workforce, including migrant employees, who receive the same wages, working hours and benefits, with government-approved accommodation.
The company adheres strictly to international labour standards, including non-retention of passports
and compliance with export-market social requirements. Continuous ESG training builds workforce literacy and embeds sustainability responsibilities into daily roles.
Beyond internal practices, Artmatrix actively participates in CSR initiatives such as tree planting, flood-relief support, coastal clean-ups and elderly-home visits, while collaborating with universities and using its green factory as a hands-on learning platform.
Governance
Governance integration is anchored in ethical conduct, robust certifications and transparent oversight. Artmatrix enforces a zero-tolerance stance on bribery through structured vendor qualification and procurement controls.
A dedicated whistleblowing channel, supported by HR-led investigations, ensures accountability. Suppliers are guided and supported to improve governance and environmental practices, with decisive action taken when standards are not met.
Regular independent audits covering ISO certifications, eco-labels, carbon-footprint assessments and Green Building Index (GBI) standards ensure that sustainability and governance practices remain credible, measurable and externally verified.
