Bursa Malaysia now requires listed companies to file sustainability disclosures through its CSI platform under an updated prescribed format.

The requirement took effect on 15 December 2025 and applies to issuers on the Main Market and ACE Market.

It follows amendments to Bursa Malaysia’s listing requirements made in December 2024 under Malaysia’s National Sustainability Reporting Framework.

Under the updated rules, companies must adopt the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards and use Bursa Malaysia’s Centralised Sustainability Intelligence platform to generate a standardised disclosure format summarising sustainability-related metrics and targets.

This summary must be included in issuers’ sustainability statements without modification.

The CSI platform has replaced the previous ESG Reporting Platform and now serves as the exchange’s sole channel for sustainability reporting.

Bursa Malaysia said access to the mandatory reporting format will be provided at no cost to listed issuers.

To support implementation, the exchange will hold a virtual onboarding session on 19 December 2025 and has published user guides on the CSI platform to help companies navigate the reporting process.

Additional guidance on sustainability reporting under the IFRS standards is available through resources published by the Advisory Committee on Sustainability Reporting on the Securities Commission Malaysia’s website.
