KUALA LUMPUR: Asean’s pursuit of energy transition, sustainable water management and climate-resilient infrastructure must be guided by environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles that extend beyond corporate metrics, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
Fadillah, who is also Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, said ESG should not be seen merely as a reporting tool for companies, but as a framework that shapes government regulations, institutional enforcement and market behaviour.
