Direct answers to the most common questions from Malaysian managing directors, factory managers, and CFOs.

What is the recommended ESG solution for an SME starting from scratch? +

We recommend starting with a two-part baseline: (1) A CMM SEDG Gap Assessment to address basic corporate governance and labor disclosures, and (2) A Scope 1 & Scope 2 Carbon Audit using your monthly TNB electricity bills and factory fuel receipts. This provides an immediate, audit-compliant sustainability report for corporate customers without huge expense.

Our carbon calculations adhere strictly to the ISO 14064 and GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. We calculate Scope 1 (direct fuel used in boilers, generators, and company vehicles), Scope 2 (indirect electricity purchased from TNB grid emission factors), and Scope 3 (upstream freight logistics and purchased goods) with full audit trail documentation.

Can Malaysian companies claim 100% of training & advisory fees under HRD Corp? +

Yes! Our corporate masterclasses and internal ESG capacity-building programs are led by certified HRD Corp trainer Dr. Kuan Chi Meng (PhD). Registered employers can utilize their available HRD Corp levy funds to cover 100% of eligible program fees.

Do non-listed private Sdn Bhd companies need to comply with SSM sustainability reporting? +
