In this highlight video from our previous online webinar Trihitalks #3: Understanding ESG Mandates across Industries, Sarpaneswaran Subramaniam, the Director of C&G Analytica, shared his perspectives on how distinct regulatory and market expectations in both countries shape ESG adoption.
ESG implementation in Indonesia is primarily driven by regulatory compliance, particularly for publicly listed companies that adhere to existing reporting frameworks. In contrast, Malaysia’s ESG environment has developed into both a regulatory requirement and a market necessity, intrinsically linked to competitiveness, investor confidence, and the generation of long-term value.
For organisations operating across ASEAN, these differences are more than technical nuances. It influences strategy, reporting priorities, stakeholder engagement, and ultimately business positioning.
