EUROCHAM Malaysia was invited to attend the enlightening Arise+ Malaysia Workshop on Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Growth through International Trade and Economic Integration, in collaboration with the EU Green Deal.

In attendance of the workshop were distinguished speakers from the International Trade Centre (ITC), Mr. Pekka Pentilla, EU Delegation, and esteemed representatives from Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (NRECC) and Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI), delved into crucial discussions on Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and EU Deforestation-Free Products Regulation (EUDR).

The two-day workshop held in Kuala Lumpur on August 14th and 15th, 2023, served as a remarkable platform to bridge the knowledge gap for public and private sector stakeholders. Day one saw insightful presentations about CBAM, followed by comprehensive insights into EUDR on day two.

The workshop highlighted the intersection of these policies with the EU Green Deal and shed light on their potential impact on Malaysia. A highlight of the event was the dynamic panel discussion on 'Understanding Malaysia's Policy Initiatives as a Response to CBAM and EUDR.' Distinguished representatives from MITI, NRECC, Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation, and Bursa Malaysia brought diverse perspectives to the table, enriching the discourse.

On behalf of our fellow member, JLL we’d like to share the following news release regarding Asia Pacific real estate investment down 17% in the second quarter of 2023. News release as follows:

Commercial real estate investment activity in Asia Pacific declined by 17% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2023 as investors remained cautious when making capital deployment decisions. According to data and analysis from global real estate consulting firm JLL, investment activity in the region totalled US$26.8 billion in the second quarter, owing to ongoing uncertainties in the global economy, with resilience in the logistics & industrial and living sectors offset by a sharp contraction in office, retail and hotel sectors.

The decline in investment volumes comes amid shifts in the investment market over the quarter. JLL proprietary data shows that relative to earlier quarters, most second quarter deals were traded with a narrower bid-ask spread, demonstrating sellers’ willingness to meet buyers by lowering their asking price. Even with asset repricing putting pressure on total returns, capital value appreciation is still forecast across geographies and sectors, speaking to the strength of rental growth and steady valuations, according to JLL.

Globally, the emphasis on and recognition of ESG (environmental, social and governance) factors have grown significantly in recent years, leading to increased demand for transparency on ESG by companies. In response to the growing demand by investors and buyers, enhanced sustainability reporting requirements for Main Market-listed companies will be implemented in phases, starting with the disclosure of common sustainability matters for financial year ending on or after Dec 31, 2023. There is also a need to facilitate comprehensive ESG disclosures by companies including their supply chains, to boost their overall competitiveness and investability.

Recognising this need, Bursa Malaysia, in collaboration with the London Stock Exchange Group, has developed the Centralised Sustainability Intelligence (CSI) Platform — a centralised repository for ESG disclosures. The CSI Platform enables public-listed companies (PLCs) to consolidate and disclose ESG data in a standardised manner, streamlining reporting and enhancing data credibility.

In addition to consolidating sustainability disclosures, the platform offers tools such as the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) reporting module and a carbon emission calculator for companies and their supply chains. By creating an ecosystem around the CSI Platform, Bursa Malaysia aims to drive growth and Malaysia’s transition to a green economy.
