This training is designed for C-level executives (CEO, CFO, COO), board members, independent directors, sustainability managers, compliance officers, legal teams, investor relations professionals, and senior management responsible for strategic decision-making and corporate governance. It's essential for leadership teams navigating ESG reporting requirements, investor expectations, and regulatory compliance including Bursa Malaysia sustainability statements.

Bursa Malaysia requires all listed companies to include sustainability statements in their annual reports. Companies must disclose material ESG factors, governance structures, management approaches, and sustainability strategies. The training covers these regulatory requirements, plus international frameworks like GRI Standards, TCFD climate-related financial disclosures, SASB industry standards, and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relevant to Malaysian businesses.

ESG training focuses on strategic governance, financial materiality, and investor relations—not charitable activities. While Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) often emphasizes community programs and philanthropy, ESG addresses how environmental and social factors create measurable business value, risk, and regulatory compliance obligations. This training teaches executives to integrate sustainability into core strategy, measure material impacts, and communicate performance to capital markets and stakeholders.

This includes materiality assessments, ESG strategy development, reporting framework setup, stakeholder engagement programs, and sustainability report preparation. The training establishes foundational knowledge, while our consultancy translates that knowledge into actionable programs aligned with Bursa Malaysia requirements and international best practices.

The standard course is a full-day executive workshop (8 hours). We also offer a condensed half-day format for board members and C-suite executives with limited availability. Both formats cover essential ESG pillars, regulatory requirements, and strategic integration, but the full-day session includes more case studies, group discussions, and action planning. All sessions are delivered in-house or virtually to accommodate your leadership team's schedule.
