Overview

Corporate governance rules in many countries, including Malaysia, have traditionally been based on the shareholder model. Even though it was acknowledged that stakeholders’ interests should be considered in creating long-term shareholder value, most principles and provisions are provided for the protection and creation of shareholder value. The 2021 Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance is one of the first corporate governance codes to incorporate sustainability-related and ESG considerations into its principles, intended outcomes, practices and guidance.
