KUALA LUMPUR, 26 May 2025 – Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia” or “the Exchange”) today announced a collaboration with BoardRoom Group (“BoardRoom”), a leading provider of corporate and advisory services in the Asia-Pacific region. The collaboration seeks to encourage wider adoption of the Centralised Sustainability Intelligence (“CSI”) Solution among Malaysian public listed companies (“PLCs”), with the goal of enhancing the quality of sustainability disclosures across the corporate sector.

The CSI Solution was developed by Bursa Malaysia in support of Malaysia’s transition to a low-carbon economy. It enables companies — listed and non-listed — streamline sustainability reporting. Following its designation in March 2025 as the Exchange’s official sustainability reporting channel, the CSI Solution’s disclosure module now supports the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures under the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF).

Commenting on the collaboration, Dato’ Fad’l Mohamed, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, said “Bursa Malaysia is committed to supporting Malaysian companies in their decarbonisation journey and lowering their climate impact. This commitment is reflected in our decision to make CSI reporting tools, aligned with IFRS S1 and S2, accessible at no charge to all public listed companies.”

“Our collaboration with BoardRoom will extend the CSI Solution’s reach. Leveraging Boardroom’s established presence and sustainability advisory expertise in the corporate advisory space, we hope to support more companies in navigating evolving disclosure requirements and enhancing the quality of their sustainability reporting with greater confidence.”

Angeline Aw, Group Chief Executive Officer of BoardRoom Group, said, “We are proud to partner with Bursa Malaysia, to scale the CSI Solution across the corporate sector. This collaboration builds on our strong and long-standing relationship with the Exchange, underpinned by our shared commitment to strengthening corporate governance and regulatory readiness. With our deep experience in serving public listed companies and expertise in Sustainability Reporting and Advisory, BoardRoom is well-positioned to support clients in adopting the CSI Solution and producing impactful sustainability reports.”

Since its launch in June 2024, around 180 PLCs have onboarded onto the CSI Platform. All companies, not just PLCs but also mid-tier companies (MTCs) and small-medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to adopt the CSI Solution to strengthen their sustainability journey. By leveraging its comprehensive suite of services, including an emissions calculator, a supplier management module, and a range of complementary value-added services delivered through a network of ecosystem partners, businesses can enhance their environmental performance and drive long-term value.

Group CEO, Kim Teo, shares that “having quantifiable measurables that tie in with the goals of the company can encourage employees to be more creative and take better ownership of their time and work. This puts more focus on achieving a particular result rather than clocking a number of working hours.”

Whilst the government is allowing 75% of the workforce to be back in office, BoardRoom will continue to implement remote working for all employees, where possible, we believe this is the future and don’t intend to default to historic ways of working.

“In Singapore, share plans fizzled out, but they are now coming back, because in an economic downturn, salaries are one of the large cash outflows of the company. Instead of paying salary increases or bonuses, they can give incentives by way of share plans.”

Shares our Group CEO, Kim Teo, in a recent interview he had with Business Times. Kim talks in-depth about his views on the market, the wide range of companies that can benefit from the adoption of Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) and some core growth drivers for the BoardRoom business.
