ESG are the core factors in measuring the sustainability and ethical efforts of a company.  While listed companies are no strangers fulfilling the requirements for reporting on the environmental and social impacts, there have been concerns in the market about these ESG strategies -- are these for truly responsible growth or just a box-ticking practice?

We have seen an increasing gap between current reporting and stakeholders' expectations as economies transit towards climate-resilient futures and ethical consumerism. Companies are not only required to commit to responsible growth, but they are also expected to build a viable strategy that creates genuine impact, and most importantly, communicates such value to the stakeholders.
