In a groundbreaking partnership, PRI, CMM, and IIC collaborate to enhance ESG investment practices in Malaysia, launching the ‘Responsible Investment in Practice’ program.
This pioneering initiative, employing blended learning techniques, aims to equip 150 professionals with comprehensive expertise in responsible investment strategies and ESG analysis.
This global-first program employs a unique blended learning approach, integrating traditional training, self-paced e-learning, and virtual classrooms to instill the fundamental principles of responsible investment into daily investment strategies.
ESG Practices and priorities
Supported by the Sustainable Investment Platform (SIP) initiated by CMM and IIC, the program aims to align financial returns with broader ESG priorities, marking a substantial advancement in nurturing sustainable investment expertise in Malaysia.
Anthony Roberts, PRI’s Director of Investor Education, emphasizes the commitment to enhancing ESG proficiency in the region, utilizing PRI’s wealth of resources to cover critical topics. These include understanding responsible investment drivers, evaluating ESG materiality, and integrating these factors into investment decisions.
Rejina Rahim, Advisor to the IIC, highlights the transformative role of investment professionals and advocates for the broader adoption of responsible investment practices across the industry.
Pivotal Step
This collaborative endeavor represents a pivotal step toward fostering a more responsible and impactful investment landscape in Malaysia.
“While most Malaysian asset managers and asset owners have a sustainable investment policy in place, many have expressed the need for training and talent development to build capacity in technical areas such as incorporating ESG factors in investment analysis and portfolio construction.
“Our partnership with the PRI Academy underscores our commitment to support Malaysia’s institutional investors and fund managers in developing breadth and depth of expertise in sustainable investing practices”, says Navina Balasingam, General Manager of CMM, an affiliate of the Securities Commission Malaysia.
