Why SIRIM ESG Management System Certification Matters
The launch of SIRIM 55 ESG Management certification marks a turning point in Malaysia’s sustainability journey. Regulators, investors, and supply chains increasingly demand more than ESG statements—they expect a verified ESG management system.
Without proper readiness, companies risk:
-
Non-compliance with future regulations (Bursa Malaysia, IFRS S1 & S2).
-
Loss of investor confidence due to weak governance.
-
Greenwashing accusations if ESG disclosures lack credible systems behind them.
Building an ESG management system under SIRIM 55:2023 ensures compliance, credibility, and business resilience.

Good to know
SIRIM 55 ESG Certification is currently voluntary. However, Malaysia’s i-ESG framework outlines 2027 as the point where ESG practices will accelerate from voluntary adoption to stronger compliance expectations. Public listed companies (PLCs) and supply-chain-exposed businesses are the most likely to face early pressure from investors, regulators, and customers. While not yet legally mandated, certification is widely seen as a “no-regrets” move to future-proof compliance and credibility.
Most organisations achieve readiness in 4–9 months depending on size and maturity.
-
SIRIM 55:2023 → Certification of ESG Management Systems (like ISO 14001, with audit and certificate).
-
SIRIM 56:2024 → Verification / Assurance of ESG Reports (closer to ISAE 3000/ISSA 5000 assurance work).
Answer: They are the same — the official name is SIRIM ESG Management System Certification (Standard 55:2023), but many companies use the shorter term SIRIM 55 ESG Certification.
