Why Choose this Training Course

With governments around the world stepping up their climate disclosure requirements, companies are now expected to publish structured, verifiable ESG data — with a primary focus on environmental metrics. In Singapore, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Singapore Exchange (SGX Group) mandate climate reporting in alignment with Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations, on a ‘comply or explain’ basis for financial years beginning in 2022.

Malaysia is moving toward mandatory carbon and climate reporting, with listed companies already required to disclose sustainability-related information and a roadmap in place to align with TCFD and ISSB standards in the next few years. Like Singapore, manual reporting and weak carbon data governance may expose companies to greenwashing risks and investor scrutiny.

Bursa Malaysia’s Sustainability Reporting Requirements

Listed companies on Bursa Malaysia are already required to publish a Sustainability Statement as part of their annual report.

This includes:

• Material sustainability matters Governance structure
• Performance indicators (economic, environmental, and social)

Since 2023, there has been increased emphasis on climate-related disclosures, especially for:

• Companies in high-impact sectors (e.g., energy, plantation, manufacturing)
• Alignment with Global Frameworks Bursa Malaysia has signaled its intent to adopt TCFD-aligned climate disclosures.

In December 2022, it issued the Bursa Malaysia Climate Change Roadmap (2023–2026), which includes:

• A phased approach to mandatory TCFD-aligned disclosures
• Integration with international sustainability frameworks such as the ISSB (IFRS S1 and S2) standards and GHG Protocol

Regulatory Drivers

The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) are pushing for climate risk governance, particularly in the financial and corporate sectors.
Bank Negara is also requiring climate risk assessments and disclosures from financial institutions.

Upcoming Mandatory Disclosures

Mandatory climate-related disclosures are expected to become compulsory for PLCs in phases starting from 2025, particularly in sectors with high GHG exposure.
Early preparation for Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions reporting is highly encouraged.

As the demand for climate transparency intensifies, many corporations still rely on manual carbon data tracking through spreadsheets, resulting in inaccurate, incomplete, and non-compliant disclosures. The risk of greenwashing accusations from regulators, investors, media, and consumers is higher than ever — and the cost of reputational damage is steep.

By the end of this carbon accounting training, participants will understand the benefits, challenges, and compliance risks associated with corporate carbon accounting — and how to build a credible climate reporting framework.
