ESG Assessment and Review
Review: Your Best Defense for Mitigating Risk
Did you know that Malaysia has taken a significant step by banning the use of R22 refrigerant gas due to its harmful environmental impact? and is your company still using it?
In our journey towards sustainability, reviews serve as our strongest defense against unforeseen challenges and risk. Common hurdles like incomplete data, calculation inaccuracies, and uncertainties about policy adherence can obscure our ability to confidently report on our sustainability efforts.
Through review, we transform risks into opportunities for improvement. It empowers us to navigate the complexities of sustainability with clarity and confidence, ensuring every action we take is grounded in accountability and drives meaningful progress towards a sustainable future.

SEDG is a practical and user-friendly template for companies wanting to showcase their sustainability efforts without the complexity of international platforms like GRI, TCFD, or CDP.
