The ASEAN-Interconnected Sustainability Ecosystem (ASEAN-ISE) is taking pivotal steps toward creating a cohesive regional sustainability framework through the establishment of a centralised ESG Data Infrastructure. This ambitious initiative was the focal point of a recent workshop in Kuala Lumpur, gathering key stakeholders from ASEAN Exchanges, including Bursa Malaysia, Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), and Singapore Exchange (SGX Group).
The project aims to harmonise ESG data collection, analysis, and reporting across ASEAN nations, promoting a unified sustainability agenda. The workshop refined requirements for a Request for Information (RFI) to identify suitable technologies and frameworks that will form the backbone of an interconnected ESG data ecosystem.
Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift, CEO of Bursa Malaysia and ASEAN-ISE secretariat host, highlighted the transformative vision: “We envision a centralised infrastructure with harmonised data standards, enabling seamless aggregation of ASEAN’s ESG perspective. This aligns with global green transition priorities, enhancing resource efficiency, and accelerating time-to-market solutions.”
The centralised ESG Data Infrastructure aims to increase corporate transparency, attract global investors, and position ASEAN as a key player in the global green economy. By fostering regional integration and collaboration, this initiative sets a foundation for sustainable growth, innovation, and international partnerships.
The ASEAN-ISE project invites contributions from global stakeholders to ensure ESG integration supports regional and global sustainability goals.
