Push from government-led ESG initiatives


Malaysia's ESG drive is being actively advocated by the government to ensure that the nation develops sustainably in line with global trends.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing in Malaysia took off in the early years after much encouragement by large funds such as the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) and Khazanah Nasional Bhd.

Regulators including the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) also helped push the ESG agenda through issuances of guidance notes and taxonomies to guide the domestic development of ESG investing.
