Sustainability & Green Recruitment and Consultancy

The Future of Work is Green

​

What is ESG?​

​

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It's a framework used to evaluate a company's performance in these areas.

​

  1. Environmental factors include a company's impact on climate change, resource management, and pollution.

  2. Social factors focus on a company's relationship with its employees, customers, and communities.

  3. Governance refers to a company's leadership, ethics, and transparency.

​

What is driving a focus on sustainability?

​

  1. Resource disruptions – These include the lingering supply chain shortages cause by the pandemic and ongoing resource scarcities

  2. Innovation – Leaner, greener and cleaner technologies are advancing and industry must learn how to compete on new playing fields

  3. Climate change, social equity and transparency – These drivers have been combined into ESG initiatives

​

Recognised as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere for the 15th time, we are proud to be a leader in these essential areas. Our sustainability efforts have also earned new EcoVadis ratings in 8 countries in 2022, bringing our cumulative total of Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze ratings to over 24 countries.

ESG: The New Employer Brand Must-Have

​

From a business perspective, many countries, including Malaysia, have begun to adopt mandatory ESG reporting requirements.

​

In Malaysia, the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad introduced the Sustainability Reporting Framework, which requires listed companies to disclose their sustainability practices, including their environmental impact, social responsibilities, and governance policies. This framework emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in corporate practices.

​

From an employer branding perspective, having a strong ESG agenda is vital for attracting and retaining top talent. In Malaysia, where awareness of environmental issues such as climate change is growing, and social concerns like economic disparity are becoming more prominent, companies need to demonstrate genuine commitment to their environmental and social responsibilities.

​

As today’s talent pool becomes more environmentally and socially conscious, organizations that show real action in adhering to their green and social commitments will have a competitive edge in attracting the best talent.

The Scarcity of ESG/Green Talent

​

A recent ManpowerGroup, "A People-First Green Transition" report found that 70% of employers urgently recruit green talent and people with sustainability skills.

​

According to ManpowerGroup’s Global Insights report “The Greening World of Work”, nearly 8 in 10 organizations have developed their sustainability strategies. However, 94% of organizations lack the necessary talent to implement their goals.

​

In response to the growing demand for skilled professionals in the green economy, we participated in the Kesuma Green Skills Fair 2024 and the MyFutureJobs Green Jobs Career Fair. The Ministry of Human Resources (KESUMA) organized the fair, highlighting the growing opportunities in the green sector as the country’s green industry continues to expand and offer 3,000 jobs in the green sector. These roles, many of which are high-quality and well-paying, come with monthly salaries ranging from RM3,000 to RM16,000, as mentioned by Minister of Human Resources, Steven Sim during the inaugural.
