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.
