The exchange, BURSA Malaysia, recently announced the launch of a corporate social responsibility framework for publicly listed companies (PLCs). I first learned of the news after reading a Business Times article, but found its information somewhat vague. The article made little mention of the details of the framework, noting only a few of its aspects such as a focus “on how a corporation interacts with the environment, community, workplace and marketplace.”

If you are interested in reading more, BURSA Malaysia’s website has a CSR section that lists the following PDFs for download:

• CSR Write-up: A short introduction to the framework as well as a nice overview of corporate social responsibility.
• CSR Framework for Malaysian PLCs: This presentation contains the details of the CSR framework and also of BURSA Malaysia’s short and long-term CSR goals.
