In 2025, the message is clear: ESG is no longer optional. It’s the difference between staying ahead or falling behind. Businesses that embrace it are building trust, attracting capital, and future-proofing their operations—while those that don’t are being left behind.
So, what’s the deal with ESG, and why should you care? Let’s break it down.

Why ESG Matters (And Why You Can’t Afford to Ignore It)
- Stronger Business Reputation and Customer Loyalty: Consumers, clients, and even employees want to support businesses that align with their values. ESG helps you build trust and credibility—and this builds loyalty.
In fact, according to Research and Market, the loyalty market in Malaysia is projected to grow by 16.2% annually, reaching US$471.7 million in 2025. As competition intensifies, brands that embrace transparency and sustainability are better positioned to win over value-driven Malaysian consumers—and keep them. - Operational Efficiency and Cost Savings: Companies that reduce waste and use renewable energy often experience improved efficiency and reduced costs, directly impacting the bottom line. ESG, done right, is just smart business.
- Stay Ahead of Regulations: ESG laws are tightening—and Malaysia is no exception. Starting now helps your business stay ahead of audits, fines, and regulatory headaches down the road.
Ignore ESG, and You Risk Falling Behind
Many businesses are already making the shift. Those who don’t? They risk being left out of partnerships, investor deals, and customer loyalty.
Let’s Cut the Act: ESG Isn’t Just for Show
Are businesses truly embedding it into their strategies or just using it for show to keep up with trends? If your ESG efforts are just flashy marketing, you're already behind— and yes, your customers can tell.
How? Because ESG is measured not by surface-level gestures, but real impact such as:
- Environmental: Are you actively reducing waste and emissions, or just pretending to be eco-friendly?
- Social: Are you supporting your employees and the community, or just checking a diversity box?
- Governance: Is your company transparent, or just saying what people want to hear?

What Happens When You Fake ESG?
Neglecting ESG—or faking it—puts your business at risk:
- Loss of Investment: More investors are screening for ESG. If they do not see real efforts, they would not risk their capital.
- Decreased Customer Loyalty: Consumers are more informed and discerning. People care about how you operate. If you are not authentic, your customers may leave.
- Regulatory Fines: Ignore ESG and face government penalties. Governments, including Malaysia’s regulators are tightening ESG compliance. Non-compliance means costly consequences.
- Missed Opportunities: Big brands want partners with serious ESG practices. No ESG? No deal.
- Greater Business Risks: Climate and social risks are real. ESG prepares you for both.

ESG Isn’t Optional—It’s Essential.
The future belongs to businesses that take ESG seriously. We’re not here for flashy campaigns; We’re here for long-term impact.
In fact, Bursa Malaysia is rolling out new ESG reporting requirements based on international standards. Starting January 1, 2025, large Main Market listed companies (with a market cap of RM2 billion and above) must begin reporting in line with the ISSB Sustainability Disclosure Standards. Other companies will follow in phases through 2026 and 2027.
This means ESG reporting won’t just be expected—it’ll be mandatory. And businesses that delay may find themselves scrambling to catch up.
The question is: will your business lead, or get left behind?
