Untangling ESG: Making Sense of Regulations, Risks, and Realities
This focused ESG Masterclass is designed to provide critical insights into the rapidly evolving ESG landscape. As ESG becomes a key driver of corporate strategy and compliance globally, businesses face increasing confusion stemming from multiple overlapping frameworks, regional variations, and growing political and corporate backlash.
From Malaysia’s own regulatory frameworks to international standards like IFRS S1 and S2, this session will provide clarity on how companies can cut through the complexity and focus on operational readiness. Attendees will explore topics like ESG interoperability, greenwashing detection, supply chain management, and the risks of non-compliance, equipping them with actionable strategies to thrive in a highly scrutinised ESG environment.
