Developing educational resources for increased ESG ambitions

25 Oct 2023

Intertek in Malaysia has developed a comprehensive suite of courses for a semi-government professional training institute in Sarawak as the country amps up its environmental, social and governance ('ESG') ambitions.

The courses, designed to get local professionals up to speed on the different ESG and greenhouse gas ('GHG') standards and requirements, were based on various industry and country-specific standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative ('GRI') and the International Organization for Standardization. They cover topics such as risk management, supply chain risks, accounting and reporting, sustainability reporting, carbon neutrality and net zero.

The knowledge gained from these courses will empower companies and the local workforce to meet upcoming ESG reporting standards and carbon pricing regulations in a world where transparency and accountability are becoming increasingly important.
