ESG has brought about significant and positive changes, but it must be applied sensibly, as demonstrated by the recent Bud Light controversy.
To provide context, Bud Light showcased trans activist Dylan Mulvaney on their beer cans as part of their ESG initiatives for representation and inclusivity.
Due to conservative consumer backlash, Bud Light and parent company Anheuser-Busch faced nationwide boycotts, resulting in a significant stock decline of up to 20%.
The Bud Light case serves as a lesson to understand the audience and implement positive change sensibly. By featuring individuals from various minority backgrounds or disabled athletes, Bud Light could have avoided this issue, showcasing the positive impact of ESG.
At PEGH, we support companies in Malaysia to approach ESG with sensitivity, considering the diverse backgrounds and beliefs in our country. Our aim is to contribute to national improvement without causing offense.

As our nation sharpens its focus on ESG compliance, the call for carbon credits is on the horizon. Unlike Singapore's pioneering carbon credit system propelling net-zero emissions by 2050, Malaysia is playing catch-up. Yet, promising news from RHB Research suggests change is imminent.
The government has propelled businesses towards eco-conscious practices through tax incentives and funding. Still, the challenge lies in fully implementing the "carrot-and-stick" approach, says the research firm.
At present, Malaysia stands without crucial carbon pricing tools - like carbon taxes and emissions trading systems - to drive emission reductions.

Can a company already practicing CSR afford to overlook ESG?
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) may seem synonymous, but can they be treated interchangeably?
While they share certain goals, ESG and CSR diverge in execution. CSR operates as a self-regulated model, fostering social accountability to internal stakeholders and the public. However, since CSR metrics are self-defined, there's potential for companies to set low standards for appearance's sake, with minimal actual impact.
Conversely, ESG employs more comprehensive, externally regulated metrics to gauge overall impact, reflected in ESG scores. Though both ESG and CSR have roles in the corporate landscape, understanding their differences is pivotal for charting your company's course and its impact on the local community.

Environmental Values Impact Workforce Choices
A recent KPMG survey of 5,700 UK adults revealed a compelling insight: as much as a third of Gen Z employees (aged 18 to 25) are ready to reject job offers from companies lacking strong environmental commitments.
Gen Z's sway stems from their emphasis on aligning with principled entities, influenced by social media and a collective sense of responsibility.
A job seeker summed up the sentiment well: "I can't apply to a company that contradicts my beliefs." As businesses plan for the future, embracing green values isn't just about staying relevant - it's about securing a committed and forward-looking workforce:- https://rb.gy/tor7e

ESG: Small Ventures, Big Impact
The ESG framework isn't solely for corporate giants - it extends its arms to small ventures too.
Thankfully, smaller businesses aren't held to the rigorous standards of their larger counterparts. This flexibility allows you to take gradual steps, identifying key issues that resonate with you and your stakeholders, and progressively working towards them.
At PEGH, we firmly believe that every small stride towards positive change counts. We're here to guide you through the journey, assisting you in shaping a brighter community and environment.
