M’sia outranks regional peers in ESG reporting

“In terms of quality of reporting, based on global surveys done, Malaysian companies score very highly," said Grant Thornton Malaysia's Kishan.

KUALA LUMPUR: Although Malaysia is ranked mid-range globally in terms of environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting, the country is still considered to be far ahead of its regional peers, says Grant Thornton Malaysia.

Its country chief executive officer Kishan Jasani said in certain ESG reporting metrics, Malaysia is even ahead of Singapore and Hong Kong.
