In January 2019, the World Economic Forum issued a whitepaper "How to Set Up Effective Climate Governance on Corporate Boards: Guiding Principles and Questions" to provide such guidance. Dissemination of this material to high level executives is crucial to ensuring swift adoption of climate change preventative actions by corporations. Climate Governance Malaysia, as the country chapter, was the second Climate Governance Initiative chapter in the world to be launched, first in Asia Pacific, and since then has made significant inroads in raising awareness of the climate crisis as being a top financial risk to businesses.

Climate Governance Malaysia is delighted to share that our annual Chairperson Masterclass Series is back and we are honoured to have a line-up of esteemed speakers who will be joining us this year. We cordially invite your Chairperson [accompanied by one non-executive director] to join one of 7 closed-door sessions of Chairperson Masterclass, hosted by CGM council members.

Climate change is no longer a distant threat, but a reality that businesses must face head-on. As the leaders of public listed companies, Chairs of Boards have a critical role to play in ensuring that their organizations are prepared for the challenges and opportunities that climate change presents. The CGM masterclass series is designed specifically for Chairs of Boards who want to deepen their understanding of critical climate issues such as biodiversity, circular economy, carbon pricing, etc. Attending these masterclasses will provide Chairs of Boards with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions that will not only help their organizations become more sustainable, but also increase their resilience to climate-related risks. By participating in this series of masterclasses, Chairs of Boards will be able to take meaningful action on climate change, enhance their reputation as responsible corporate citizens, and create long-term value for their organizations and stakeholders.

This is an invitation only event. Your attendance is not confirmed upon registration. We will be in touch shortly once attendance is confirmed. Capacity for this event is highly limited, so please do nominate your attendees promptly.
