SMEs benefit from ESG projects

“Increasingly, SMEs are finding out there is an acceptable ROI to the ESG projects they implement," said Heong of Alliance Bank.

KUALA LUMPUR: Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are getting acceptable returns in terms of environmental, social and governance (ESG) projects, says Alliance Bank Malaysia Bhd head of strategic partnerships and innovation Roy Heong.

“This seems to be apparent among those that operate along the supply chain of bigger corporate companies and those with financing facilities from financial institutions,” he said.
