Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia” or the “Exchange”) introduced an enhanced prescribed format for sustainability disclosures through its Centralised Sustainability Intelligence (“CSI”) Platform effective today, as part of its efforts to strengthen alignment with international disclosure standards.
The CSI Platform, the Exchange’s designated platform for sustainability reporting, enables listed issuers to streamline sustainability reporting in accordance with global standards, supporting Malaysia’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
Under the revised MAIN Market Listing Requirements ("MAIN LR") and ACE Market Listing Requirements ("ACE LR") (collectively, “Listing Requirements"), amended on 23 December 2024 to reflect the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (“NSRF”), companies on the MAIN and ACE Markets are mandated to adopt the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards through the CSI Platform. Access to the mandatory reporting format will be provided at no cost. The prior ESG Reporting Platform has been decommissioned and the CSI Platform will serve as the official channel conforming to the Exchange’s prescribed format.
Listed issuers on the MAIN Market and ACE Market must access the CSI Platform to generate the prescribed format that entails a summary of data for the metrics and targets, which must then be disclosed in their respective Sustainability Statement, without any tampering.
To assist listed issuers in navigating the prescribed format’s features and functionalities, Bursa Malaysia will conduct a virtual onboarding session on 19 December 2025. In addition, user guides providing step-by-step instructions are available within CSI Platform under the guidance section.
As previously communicated, listed issuers are advised to refer to the following web pages for more information on the amended Listing Requirements pertaining to the enhanced sustainability reporting requirements:
