FOCUSING ON
  • Module 1: Deconstructing the Pillars (E, S, and G)
  • Module 2: Navigating the NSRF & IFRS Baseline
  • Module 3: Climate Disclosures & Introduction to Carbon Accounting
  • Module 4: Data Governance & The Central Sustainability Intelligence (CSI) Platform
OVERVIEW
Many Malaysian organizations remain stuck in the mindset that environmental and social responsibilities are secondary costs. In reality, modern ESG is about identifying sustainability-related risks and opportunities that alter a company’s financial health, cost of capital, and access to international supply chains. This course bridges fundamental definitions with local compliance demands—including Section 17A of the MACC Act, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA), and the phased rollout of ISSB-aligned climate reporting.
AFTER ATTENDING THIS COURSE YOU WILL RETURN TO YOUR JOB…
  1. Being able to differentiate ESG from CSR: Transitioning from a “charitable giving” framework to an integrated risk management and value creation strategy.
  2. Decoding the NSRF Timeline: Clearly mapping out where their organization falls on the IFRS S1 and S2 mandatory adoption roadmap.
  3. Analyzing Local Regulatory Pillars: Identify how Malaysian laws intersect directly with the “S” and “G” metrics (e.g., forced labor prevention and corporate governance mandates).
  4. Initiating Carbon Accounting Baselines: Comprehending the structural differences between Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions.
  5. Navigating the CSI Platform: Understanding the digital compliance steps required to report via Bursa Malaysia’s centralized platform.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
  • C-Suite Executives
  • Board of Directors
  • Sustainability Committee Members
  • Chief Financial Officers, Risk Managers
  • Compliance Officers navigating the transition to mandatory disclosure frameworks.
METHODOLOGY

This masterclass utilizes an action-oriented methodology:

  • Localized Micro-Lectures: Concentrated technical insights mapping global standards directly onto the Malaysian legal context.
  • Bursa Report Audits: Hands-on exercises analyzing published Malaysian sustainability statements to isolate strong reporting from potential “greenwashing.”
  • Materiality Mapping Simulation: A collaborative workshop where participants determine financial vs. impact materiality using real industry metrics.
  • Interactive Diagnostic Polling: Anonymized, live data capture to evaluate participants’ current internal data gaps.

  • Environmental (E): Beyond recycling. Focus on carbon emissions, water security, circular economy, and compliance with the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA).
  • Social (S): Human rights, strict labor practices (addressing forced labor concerns), workplace health and safety, and community impact.
  • Governance (G): Board composition (the 30% women on boards mandate), executive compensation tied to ESG metrics, the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (MCCG), and liability under Section 17A of the MACC Act (Anti-Bribery).
