ESG Advisory and Sustainability Reporting Services in Malaysia
InCorp Malaysia provides ESG advisory and sustainability reporting services for companies operating in Malaysia, including foreign investors, listed entities and multinational subsidiaries. Our team supports ESG strategy, gap assessment, sustainability reporting aligned with Bursa Malaysia and the International Sustainability Standards Board, and independent ESG assurance.
ESG advisory in Malaysia is professional support that helps a company measure, manage and disclose its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance against regulatory and investor requirements. Since the National Sustainability Reporting Framework took effect, this means reporting against IFRS S1 and IFRS S2.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting is no longer optional for most companies operating here. It determines access to bank financing, eligibility to supply listed customers, and how investors price the quality of your governance.

FAQs for ESG in Malaysia
What are the mandatory ESG reporting standards for listed companies in Malaysia?

Reporting is climate-first.
- ESG reporting is mandatory for companies listed on Bursa Malaysia. For non-listed companies, ESG is not legally mandatory but is increasingly required by investors, banks, and multinational partners as part of risk and compliance assessments.
- Malaysia adopts a combination of local and international ESG frameworks, including Bursa Malaysia Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, ISSB standards, and widely used frameworks such as GRI and TCFD.
- Most medium-sized enterprises in Malaysia budget RM15,000 to RM80,000 for a materiality assessment, Scope 1 and 2 carbon footprint, and a first sustainability report.
