Bursa Malaysia Achieves SBTi Validation For Ambitious GHG Reduction Targets
Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift, CEO of Bursa Malaysia, commented, "We are at a critical juncture where addressing the climate crisis is more urgent than ever. This is why Bursa Malaysia is building on the progress we have already made by setting ambitious targets. Having our climate action targets validated by the globally recognised SBTi is a testament to our commitment to addressing climate change effectively and meaningfully. We are committed to minimising the impact of our operations and our related value chains, to benefit our stakeholders, society, and the planet overall."Bursa Malaysia Berhad has announced that its near- and long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This recognition positions Bursa Malaysia as the first exchange in Asia to achieve such a milestone, highlighting its leadership in climate action and commitment to sustainable practices.
马来西亚交易所已宣布其近期和长期的温室气体（GHG）减排目标已经通过科学可验证目标倡议（SBTi）的验证。这一认可使马来西亚交易所成为亚洲第一个实现此里程碑的交易所，凸显了其在应对气候变化方面的领导地位和可持续发展承诺。
The Exchange's pledge to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 was first unveiled on 22 September 2021. In line with this commitment, Bursa Malaysia has set science-based GHG emissions reduction targets, now officially validated by the SBTi. These targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2022 base year and increasing the annual active sourcing of renewable electricity from 0% to 100% by 2030. Additionally, Bursa Malaysia aims to cut absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 50% within the same timeframe.
该交易所于2021年9月22日首次宣布实现2050年零排放的承诺。根据这一承诺，马来西亚交易所已制定科学可验证的温室气体减排目标。这些目标包括将绝对一、二阶段温室气体排放量在2030年时从2022年的基准年份降低50%，并将可再生电力的年度积极采购比例从0%提升至100%。此外，马来西亚交易所还计划在同一时期将绝对三阶段温室气体排放量削减50%。
For the long term, Bursa Malaysia is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2022 base year, and similarly, reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2022 base year.
就长期而言，马来西亚交易所致力于从2022年的基准年份起，将一、二阶段温室气体排放量削减90%，同样，将绝对三阶段温室气体排放量削减90%。

马来西亚交易所首席执行官Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift评论道：“我们正处于一个解决气候危机比以往任何时候都更加紧迫的关键时刻。这就是马来西亚交易所正在建立在我们已经取得的进展基础上设定雄心勃勃的目标的原因。全球公认的SBTi对我们的气候行动目标的验证证明了我们有效和有意义地应对气候变化的承诺。我们致力于减少我们的运营和相关价值链的影响，造福于我们的利益相关者、社会和整个地球。”
Since its commitment to net zero in late 2021, Bursa Malaysia has undertaken several initiatives to reduce operational GHG emissions and promote sustainability. These include conducting an energy audit, identifying measures to improve energy efficiency, developing a comprehensive GHG emissions inventory, diversifying its energy mix, and providing climate and ESG training for its Board and employees. The Exchange has also implemented internal guides on Personal Net Zero Emissions and Waste Disposal and Recycling to assist employees in reducing their own emissions and waste.
自2021年底承诺实现净零排放以来，马来西亚交易所已经采取了多项措施来减少运营温室气体排放量并促进可持续发展。包括进行能源审核，确定提高能源效率的措施，编制全面的温室气体排放清单，多样化能源结构，并为董事会成员和员工提供气候和ESG培训。交易所还制定了个人净零排放和废物处理和回收的内部指南，以帮助员工减少自身的排放和废物产生。
Looking ahead, Bursa Malaysia will continue to enhance its operational practices in alignment with environmental best practices and closely monitor its GHG emissions to meet its 2030 and 2050 targets. Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift added, "Ultimately, our goal is to cultivate an ecosystem that responsibly takes and rewards early climate action. In this pursuit, Bursa Malaysia will continue to lead by example, encouraging all market participants to scale up their climate contributions and accelerate Malaysia's net-zero and green economy. This journey can only be achieved through collaborative efforts with our stakeholders."
展望未来，马来西亚交易所将继续根据最佳环保实践，提升自身运营实践，并密切监测温室气体排放，以实现2030年和2050年的目标。Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift补充道：“最终，我们的目标是培育一个负责任地采取和奖励早期气候行动的生态系统。在这个追求中，马来西亚交易所将继续以身作则，鼓励所有市场参与者加大气候贡献并加速马来西亚的净零排放和绿色经济。这个旅程只能通过与利益相关者的协作努力来实现。”
