Environment, social and governance (ESG) principles are non-negotiable for business continuity and success. How can businesses thrive while also making an impact? We cover the latest news and views in the ESG space.
Malaysia faces a significant funding gap in protecting its forests, wildlife and ecosystems, raising questions over whether private capital can play a larger role. On People, Planet, Profit, we explore the potential of nature-based solutions and blended finance, the safeguards needed to prevent greenwashing, and a fundamental tension at the heart of nature finance: can putting a financial value on biodiversity help protect it without turning nature into just another asset?

Malaysia’s Water Security Paradox
Malaysia may be rich in water resources, but a new study suggests that abundance alone does not guarantee water security, with Selangor ranking close to the bottom despite its economic importance. On People, Planet, Profit, we examine what conventional measures may be missing, why governance and infrastructure matter, and how Malaysia needs to rethink water security as demand rises and climate pressures intensify.

Is Malaysia Spending Enough on ESG?
Malaysia is preparing for Budget 2027, with climate resilience, clean energy and sustainability expected to remain important priorities. But beyond how much money is allocated, the bigger question is whether ESG spending is delivering measurable results. Where should public funding be targeted, how can government spending attract more private capital, and what stronger accountability is needed to ensure Malaysia gets meaningful environmental and social returns from its investments?
