Bursa M’sia to set up ESG disclosure platform

KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia Bhd is looking at a few options to set up the corporate reporting platform for environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitment disclosures by corporations.

“Industry stakeholders, from investors to regulators and financial institutions, are looking for good and transparent disclosures, as this is a means to keep corporations honest, in that you say what you mean, and do what you say,” said senior executive vice-president of Bursa’s data business Wong Chiun Chiek.
