BURSA MALAYSIA INTRODUCES CSI PLATFORM FOR SUSTAINABILITY DISCLOSURES

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 15 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia Bhd has introduced an enhanced prescribed format for sustainability disclosures through its Centralised Sustainability Intelligence (CSI) platform, as part of its efforts to strengthen alignment with international disclosure standards.

The platform is designed for sustainability reporting and enables listed issuers to streamline their sustainability reporting in accordance with global standards, supporting Malaysia’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

“Under the revised Main Market listing requirements and ACE Market listing requirements, amended on Dec 23, 2024 to reflect the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF), companies on the Main and ACE markets are mandated to adopt the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards through the CSI platform.

“Access to the mandatory reporting format will be provided at no cost,” said Bursa Malaysia in a statement today. 

The prior environmental, social and governance reporting platform has been decommissioned, and the CSI platform will serve as the official channel conforming to the Exchange’s prescribed format.

“Listed issuers on the Main Market and ACE Market must access the CSI platform to generate the prescribed format that entails a summary of data for the metrics and targets, which must then be disclosed in their respective sustainability statement, without any tampering,” it said. 

To assist listed issuers in navigating the prescribed format’s features and functionalities, Bursa Malaysia will conduct a virtual onboarding session on Dec 19, 2025.
