22 Jul 2025, 21:46 GMT+10
KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 (Xinhua) -- Capital Markets Malaysia (CMM), an affiliate of the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC), on Tuesday launched the Simplified ESG Disclosure Guide Greenhouse Gas Emission Calculator for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
The CMM said in a statement that the user-friendly tool is designed to help Malaysian companies measure and report their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions based on the globally recognized Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
To ensure consistency and credibility, the tool utilizes a methodology which follows widely accepted international standards that are also used by the Malaysian government in the Biennial National Communications to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
"The calculator simplifies a complex process, making emissions reporting accessible even to first-time users. Beyond reporting, it also enables companies to pinpoint key emission sources across operations, allowing them to make informed decisions and move towards meaningful climate action," said Mohammad Faiz Azmi, executive chairman of the SC and chairman of CMM.
He added that the calculator further complements efforts by the SC to promote consistent and credible sustainability disclosures and supports the adoption of the National Sustainability Reporting Framework by Malaysian companies.

Ministry to monitor IC misuse after RON95 price adjustment
SETIA ALAM: The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry will issue reminders to petrol stations to prevent the misuse of Malaysian identity cards for the upcoming RON95 fuel price adjustment. Deputy Minister Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh said the ministry will intensify monitoring efforts to prevent leakages and misuse by foreign-registered vehicles using Malaysian ICs. "Previously, petrol stations were prohibited from selling RON95 to vehicles with foreign registration plates. "If local ICs are used (after the fuel price adjustment), we will remind petrol station operators to stay vigilant, and we may need to monitor closely to ensure these ICs are not misused repeatedly," she said at the closing ceremony of the TikTok Shop Summit today. Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced several key initiatives as a gesture of appreciation from the government to the people. Among these initiatives are a one-off RM100 cash aid under the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) programme, the postponement of toll rate hikes for 10 highways, and a lower subsidised RON95 petrol price at RM1.99 per litre. On June 16, Anwar said the government would proceed with the RON95 fuel subsidy rationalisation, as it is crucial for the country. Anwar, who is also the finance minister, said there was no issue of a RON95 price increase affecting the majority of Malaysians. On June 26, Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said the government would move ahead with its plan to implement targeted subsidies for RON95 petrol this year. However, the rollout would be done in phases to ensure the most effective and least disruptive mechanism is adopted.
