Environmental and carbon reporting for Malaysia, starting with waste
Waste, circularity and carbon, with the evidence behind every figure.
Companies record what they throw away, where it actually went, and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions it created. Each figure carries its basis, its data quality grade and the documents behind it.
Incineration with energy recovery is disposal, not recovery. Classified correctly, a company reporting 96.5 per cent recycling can be at 68.2 per cent.
Malaysia publishes no waste emission factors of its own. Every company borrows from somewhere else, and rarely says where.
Nobody can currently prove whether a recycling facility recovers what it claims. The receipt says recycled. The evidence rarely follows.
Each consignment recorded at source: weight, stream, contractor and destination.
Every stream mapped to its true route: reuse, recycling or disposal.
Emissions computed with a named factor, each figure given a data quality grade.
The period reconciled against weighbridge and facility records, then locked.
A certificate issued with a code anyone can check against the live record.
Each period closes into a locked, versioned reporting pack: what was generated, where it went, the Scope 3 Category 5 emissions it produced, the data quality grade of every figure and the records behind each one. Fourteen pages, the same structure every month.
GHGReporting is independent of any waste operator. Operators work on the platform. Listed companies report through it.
Every certificate carries a Quick Response (QR) code. Anyone holding it can scan the code and confirm on the platform that it is genuine and current. No login, no account.
Graded on five measures: compliance, evidence, measurement, recovery and conduct. The grade is computed, never edited. The method is published. Every grade can be appealed.
| Facility | Stream | Months of evidence | Measured share | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper recovery facility, Klang | Paper and board | 12 | 98% | AExcellent |
| Plastics recycler, Shah Alam | Plastics | 12 | 91% | BGood |
| Metals yard, Ipoh | Ferrous metals | 9 | 74% | CAverage |
| Energy recovery plant, Negeri Sembilan | Mixed residual | 7 | 58% | DBelow average |
| Mixed recyclables yard, Penang | Mixed recyclables | 4 | 31% | EWeak |
| Composting site, Johor | Food waste | 2 | Not computed | ?Insufficient data |
Framework names identify the methods the platform uses. GHGReporting is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.
Emissions are prepared using the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard, Category 5, waste generated in operations.
Waste data is mapped to GRI 306: Waste 2020, with diversion reported on a GRI 306-4 basis.
The platform maps climate disclosures to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) S2, as adopted in Malaysia.
Every emission factor records its source, its year and whether it is Malaysian, international or specific to a facility.
We do not review or sign off reports. A report prepared here is evidence for your external reviewer, not a substitute for one.
We are not affiliated with any standard setter. Mapping a figure to a standard is not endorsement by it.
A facility rating is a computed reading of the evidence held. It is not an inspection.
Where evidence is missing, the platform records that it is missing. It does not estimate it away.
The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has set out the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF), applied to listed issuers through the Bursa Malaysia Listing Requirements. It brings IFRS sustainability disclosures, Scope 3 emissions and external review to listed issuers in three groups. Waste is one of the first Scope 3 categories a company can measure well, and one of the first an external reviewer will test.
| Issuer group | IFRS S1 and S2 from | Scope 3 from | External review from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 Main Market issuers with market capitalisation of RM2 billion and above | 2025 | 2027 | 2027 |
| Group 2 All other Main Market issuers | 2026 | 2028 | 2028 |
| Group 3 ACE Market issuers, and large unlisted companies with group revenue of RM2 billion and above | 2027 | 2030 | 2029 |
Listed companies in Malaysia are being asked to report what happens to their waste, and soon to defend those figures before an external reviewer. The figures they hold today were never built for that.
Incineration is counted as recovery. Emission factors are borrowed from other countries, with no word on where they came from. Recycling rates cannot be traced past the facility gate. Good companies publish figures they cannot defend, not through bad faith, but because nobody has built the record that would let them.
GHGReporting is that record. Every tonne traced from source to final route. Every figure carrying its basis and its data quality grade. Every certificate open to anyone who holds it. We built it as an independent company so that it can serve every operator and every reporter on equal terms.
To give every waste figure reported in Malaysia the evidence behind it.
