SC invites feedback on sustainable and responsible investment taxonomy

The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) released a consultation paper seeking public feedback on a principles-based Sustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI) Taxonomy for the Malaysian capital market (SRI Taxonomy). In line with the recommendation of the SC’s SRI Roadmap for the Malaysian Capital Market, the SRI Taxonomy was developed to enable capital market participants to identify economic activities that are aligned with environment, social and sustainability objectives, the regulator said in a statement today. This will facilitate a more informed and efficient decision-making for fundraising and investment.
