New ESGAMConnect Platform Aims to Empower SMEs on ESG Journey
- The object is to help small businesses adopt low-carbon and responsible practices.
- The platform builds a stronger sustainability support network system in the country.
- It opens investment opportunities for enterprises looking to grow sustainably.
The ESG Association of Malaysia (ESGAM), in association with iForte Intelligence Sdn Bhd, has developed a new platform called ESGAMConnect.
The platform has been specifically designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to improve their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance, understand and adopt ESG practices, and support Malaysia's goal of becoming a more sustainable economy.
AI-powered ESGAMConnect offers a wide choice of digital tools on a single platform, with an artificial intelligence (AI) virtual assistant welcoming users and guiding them through the ESG process whenever they need help.

It also imparts training programmes, access to digital assessment tools, and an industry-specific marketplace where users are connected with ESG professionals, including consultants, trainers, and auditors.
With the platform now up and running, ESG reporting and audit preparation have become much easier for small firms, and, what's more, it connects them to accreditation bodies and suggests carbon credit venues and markets that may be relevant to their businesses. In addition, users will be informed about government schemes and green loans through a financing and grants hub.
Professor Cheah Kok Hoong, President of ESGAM, said: "The launch
of ESGAMConnect marks a pivotal milestone in Malaysia’s ESG journey. This platform is not just a digital tool, but a national ecosystem built on intelligence, accessibility and collaboration.
"It reflects the collective voice of the industry and brings together government, business and civil society to accelerate ESG adoption. Our vision is to empower organisations of all sizes, especially SMEs, to lead with purpose, embrace sustainable practices and thrive in a future-ready, inclusive economy."
