This framing misses out on the more important objective of recognising and responding to a deeper shift in how business value and risks will be redefined in Malaysia’s economy landscape and competitiveness. We are entering a period where climate risks and impacts are increasingly shaping real economic outcomes. This is where the role of professional accountants in Malaysia must evolve. Those that integrate climate risk and opportunity into core business strategy and decision making will be better positioned to protect value, attract capital and sustain competitiveness. Professional accountants who lead with insight, integrity and a value-based mindset will help shape more resilient businesses and a stronger Malaysian economy.
