Malaysia has embraced the drive towards sustainable development through enhancement of corporate reporting. The Securities Commission Malaysia and Ministry of Environment and Water have been instrumental in catalyzing awareness and changing the perception towards ESG disclosures.

Companies operating in Malaysia have been directed to provide detailed compliance information on environmental, social and governance standards. This is in alignment with global practices expected by the ISSB and emphasizes the importance of ESG metrics for businesses. Non-compliance with sustainability reporting standards come with strict penalties and dire consequences on compliance organizations. By integrating ESG principles into their operations, businesses can enhance their market competitiveness and gain stakeholder trust.
