PETALING JAYA (Dec 15): Ninety-nine of the top 100 companies in Malaysia publish sustainability reports, just behind Japan (100) and ahead of other regional peers such as India (98), Taiwan (93), and Australia (92), according to the findings of a survey by KPMG.
The audit, tax and advisory services firm's International Survey of Sustainability Reporting 2020 also found that 97 of the top 100 companies in Malaysia included sustainability information in their annual reports.
“While Malaysia’s high inclusion rate of sustainability data in annual reporting is driven by Bursa Malaysia, we see this active participation from Malaysian top companies to be an encouraging sign, which sets the tone and example for other jurisdictions to follow," said Kasturi Nathan, Head of Governance and Sustainability at KPMG in Malaysia, in a statement announcing the findings.
