This is a self-check, not an exam or a certificate.

Why check this now?

Find your gaps before an audit or a review does.

Listed companies report on sustainability under Bursa Malaysia requirements, and they now ask their supply chains for the data behind it. A report built on weak materiality or unchecked ESG data is hard to defend in front of investors, buyers and auditors.

What does the assessment ask?

Rate each statement from Not yet to Always. These are the statements, by area.

Materiality and stakeholder engagement

  1. We have identified our stakeholder groups and how we engage each of them.
  2. We use a materiality survey or interviews to learn which sustainability topics matter most to stakeholders.
  3. Material topics are ranked using a documented method and approved by management or the board.
  4. We review the materiality assessment at least every reporting cycle.

Baseline mapping and reference practice

  1. For each material topic, we have mapped our current baseline, such as energy use, waste or workforce data.
  2. We know who owns the data for each topic and where it comes from.
  3. We compare our practice with peers or recognised reference practice to find gaps.

Evaluating ESG data

  1. We collect economic, environmental, social and governance data using set definitions and units.
  2. Someone other than the data owner checks key figures before they are used.
  3. We keep evidence, such as bills, meter readings and HR records, behind each reported figure.
  4. We compare data year on year and explain significant changes.

Preparing the sustainability report

  1. We know which reporting requirements and frameworks apply to us, such as Bursa Malaysia's sustainability statement requirements, the National Sustainability Reporting Framework or GRI.
  2. We keep a list of required disclosures and check each one is covered or explained.
  3. The report has a timeline, owners for each section and a review and approval step.
  4. We describe performance honestly, including targets that were missed.

Frequently asked questions.

Short answers to what people ask first.

How is my score worked out?

You rate each statement from Not yet (0) to Always (3). Your score is the percentage of the maximum points, and your lowest scoring section shows which course to look at first.

Does a high score mean I am certified?

No. This is a self-check of your current practice, not part of the Certifyd Sustainability Reporting Practitioner assessment. The certification is earned by completing its core courses and assessment.

Does this tell me which rules apply to my company?

No. It checks your reporting practice. Confirm the current requirements for your company with Bursa Malaysia, your regulator or your adviser.

Who is this Readiness Check for?

Sustainability executives, company secretaries, finance and compliance staff who prepare or support sustainability reports in Malaysia.

Is the Sustainability Reporting Readiness Check free?

Yes. You can answer every statement and see your readiness band without signing up. Your email is asked for only if you want the detailed report and the PDF checklist.

Do you store my answers?

Not until you ask for your report. Until then your answers stay in this browser. After you confirm your email, they are kept with your report and you can delete them from any email we send.

What happens after the assessment?

Your report recommends one next step: the core course for your weakest area, or the full certification when you are ready.
