Thank you for your interest to participate in the programme, A Dialogue with Bursa Malaysia – FTSE4Good ESG Rating for all PLCs. Unfortunately, registration for the event has reached its maximum capacity. Kindly scan the QR code below or click here to register your interest to participate in a programme re-run tentatively in the second half of 2023.
This event is EXCLUSIVELY for Board Members and CEOs of PLCs ONLY
Following last year’s MoU between Bursa Malaysia and London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), Bursa Malaysia has announced that all PLCs will now automatically have an ESG score by FTSE Russell and will be able to access a web-based research platform that details their scores and the data indicators used for assessment. Prior to this, only PLCs that were part of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Index (approximately 30% of total Malaysian PLCs) had ESG scores provided by FTSE Russell.
So, what does this mean to the other 70% PLCs? As a board member of these PLCs, what should you know about ESG scores, and what can you do about it?
As ESG reporting standards continue to evolve, investors and stakeholders are expecting to review an organisation’s ESG score to fill in information gaps with a measure of objectivity. For Boards to play their role in controlling their ESG narrative, providing more – and more detailed – information can go a long way towards closing the gap between perception and reality. This FTSE4Good Dialogue with Bursa Malaysia will provide an opportunity for directors to engage with the Exchange’s Bursa Intelligence team, and exemplary companies within the FTSE4GOOD Bursa Malaysia assessment universe to shed light on:
- The latest ESG trends, best practices, and regulations
- The benefits, value-add and potential impact of having a voluntary ESG score for your company
- The methodologies and criteria used by FTSE Russell to rate the PLCs
- How to get started and take charge of your own scoring
Join us, and have a conversation with the regulator and those who have made it! Register today:
