Why is ESG Crucial for Businesses and Employees in Malaysia?
ESG has moved from a “nice-to-have” to a strategic imperative in Malaysia, driven by regulatory, financial, and competitive forces. Here’s why this training is essential now:
Regulatory Mandate & Bursa Malaysia Requirements:
Bursa Malaysia has mandated enhanced sustainability reporting for listed companies, requiring detailed disclosure on ESG practices. This trickles down to suppliers and partners across all sectors. Basic ESG awareness is now necessary for compliance and tender readiness.
Market Competitiveness & Reputation:
Consumers and business clients, especially multinational corporations (MNCs), now prioritize ethical and sustainable partners. A workforce with ESG awareness helps safeguard your brand’s reputation and secures your position in the global supply chain.
Risk Management & Long-Term Resilience:
ESG directly addresses critical risks: Environmental (climate impact, resource scarcity), Social (workplace safety, talent retention), and Governance (regulatory fines, corruption). Proactive management through an educated workforce mitigates these risks.
For Employees: Understanding ESG is no longer just for senior management. It is becoming a core career competency. It empowers you to contribute to your company’s strategic goals, enhances your relevance in a changing economy, and aligns your skills with future-proof business practices.
