Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Regulatory Compliance

Led by Cynthia Gabriel, our ESG Practice Group provides practical, commercially focused legal advice to businesses navigating Malaysia’s rapidly evolving environmental, social and governance (ESG) landscape.

As ESG requirements increasingly move from voluntary commitments to regulatory and market-access obligations, we help clients understand their legal exposure, strengthen governance frameworks and embed ESG considerations across their business operations, investments and supply chains.

Our multidisciplinary team advises on ESG compliance, corporate governance, environmental and climate-related obligations, responsible investment, human rights due diligence, sustainability disclosures, anti-corruption frameworks and ESG considerations in transactions.

We offer well crafted training and upskilling programmes for public listed companies, and provide in depth valuable insights and advice for board and senior management.

We work with businesses across sectors to identify and manage emerging risks, respond to evolving regulatory requirements and build resilient, responsible business practices that support long-term value creation.

The ESG programme aims to strengthen cross sectoral engagement with academic institutions and other statutory bodies in addition to the private sector,  in order to embed and institutionalise a positive and enabling ecosystem, for doing business.
