🌿💼 ESGAM at the ASEAN CFO Sustainability Leadership Summit 2025 🌏

On 9th September 2025 at the Manhattan 3 Ballroom, Level 14, Berjaya Times Square Hotel Kuala Lumpur, ESGAM proudly participated in the ASEAN CFO Sustainability Leadership Summit.

We’d like to extend sincere gratitude to KSI Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific, and co-organizers ASEAN Economic Club, Economic Club of Kuala Lumpur, and ASEAN Business Club, we were honored to contribute to this high-level regional dialogue with the topic of ESG and Sustainability – The Strategic Role of the CFO moderated by Dato’ Seri Dr. Vaseehar Hassan, Executive Vice Chairman of KSI / Director, Bank Rakyat.

We are proud to share that Adjunct Practice Prof. Cheah Kok Hoong, President of ESGAM, joined the panel alongside:
* Ms Arina Kok, Partner, Climate Change and Sustainability Services, Ernst & Young Consulting
* Ms Farhana Jabir, Director, Sustainability and Climate Change Practice, PwC Malaysia

💡 Key Takeaways:
* CFOs must lead on ISSB-aligned ESG disclosures, expanding financial reporting to include Scope 2 & 3 emissions.
* ESG compliance and sustainability strategy are distinct—leaders must balance regulatory demands with long-term business value.
* Malaysia’s sustainability reporting framework is evolving, but carbon emission structures remain underdeveloped, offering CFOs a chance to lead with foresight and innovation.
