The UK is gearing up to introduce the Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) in 2024, marking a significant shift in the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) regulatory landscape. This pioneering legislation is set to standardise how asset owners and managers communicate and market their sustainable investment products. Through a mix of anti-greenwashing rules, investment labelling, and disclosures, the SDR aims to assist investors in making informed choices about sustainable finance products and investments.

The Advisory Committee on Sustainability Reporting (ACSR), led by the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and supported by the Ministry of Finance, is set to hold an online public consultation next month. This event will focus on the integration of the sustainability disclosure standards by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) within Malaysia.

At the recent 8th UK-Singapore Financial Dialogue held in London, the United Kingdom and Singapore underscored their commitment towards enhancing collaborative efforts.
