Summary
ESG is increasingly relevant beyond large listed companies, with expectations reaching SMEs through customers, supply chains, financing, procurement and business relationships with larger organisations.

The session will cover key Malaysian developments, including the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF), SSM’s proposed amendments to the Companies Act 2016 on sustainability reporting, and the Simplified ESG Disclosure Guide (SEDG).
