In 2006, Bursa Malaysia introduced a requirement for all listed companies to disclose their corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. By 2015 the requirement evolved from disclosures on social or philanthropic activities to sustainability reporting addressing the impacts of economic, environment and social (EES) risks and opportunities arising from business activities. Embedding sustainability considerations in a business strategy or goals reduces risks and helps the company gains competitive edge in the long run.
