Bursa Malaysia and FTSE Russell continue to conduct outreach programmes to companies to encourage and support them in improving their ESG disclosures and practices. The increase in the number of constituents is a reflection of the PLCs benefitting from these programmes and catalysing their efforts towards ESG best practices.

F4GBM Index constituents are drawn from the companies on the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Index, comprising PLCs from across the small, medium and large market capitalisation segments. The index is reviewed in June and December against international benchmarks
