National Sustainability Reporting Framework

Tools and Data Resources

The National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF) does not prescribe specific tools, methods, and/or data sources to be used for the preparation of sustainability reports. This webpage seeks to provides examples that preparers may consider in the development of the sustainability reports. Among others, these include resources in relation to centralised reporting and value chain emissions, climate-related data sources, and science-based scenarios for conducting climate-related scenario analysis.

Centralised Reporting and Scope 3 Emissions

Bursa Centralised Sustainability Intelligence (Bursa CSI)
The Bursa CSI Solution aims to provide a designated sustainability reporting channel for PLCs. It includes ISSB reporting & other climate reporting, GHG emissions calculator (Scope 1 & 2), and Metrics and performance targets.

Additional features include CSI Supplier Engagement Solution, which supports companies in determining Scope 3 emissions, Supplier engagement & management, and value chain engagement.

SEDG GHG Calculator (Capital Markets Malaysia)
This calculator helps Malaysian companies identify key GHG emission sources in line with the ‘Emissions’ disclosure requirements of the Simplified ESG Disclosure Guide (SEDG) for SMEs in Supply Chains, enabling them to estimate both absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions and emissions intensity per unit revenue.

Conducting Climate Scenario Analysis

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6)
The IPCC AR6 scenarios present hypothetical future pathways for a range of possible outcomes for climate change, based on different socioeconomic developments and emission levels. These scenarios are used to understand future climate impacts and risks, and they range from very low emissions (SSP1-1.9 and SSP1-2.6) which could limit warming to near 1.5°C, to very high emissions (SSP5-8.5) which could lead to a warming of 4.4°C or more by 2100.

Detailed scenarios and model-based pathway from AR6 can be explored under IIASA’s AR6 Scenario Explorer and Database.

International Energy Agency (IEA)’s Global Energy and Climate (GEC) Model
The IEA GEC Model provides different scenarios (e.g. stated policies, announced pledges, net zero) to describe the impact on the energy system. Users can explore the model here.

NGFS Climate Scenarios
The Network on Greening Financial Systems (NGFS)’ Climate Scenarios provide a common and up-to-date reference point for understanding how climate change (physical risk) and climate policy and technology trends (transition risk) could evolve in different futures.

Users can explore long-term scenarios on the Scenarios Portal here.

Climate-Related Data

Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas (World Resources Institute)
The Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas includes baseline and future data for key water risk indicators such as water stress, riverine flood risk, coastal flood risk, and drought risk, among others.

The tool allows users to select areas on the map, conduct analysis, and upload files (.csv, .xslx, .shp) to explore risks for specific assets.


Climate Impacts Explorer (Climate Analytics)
The Climate Impacts Explorer shows how climate impacts will play out over time at current emissions reductions levels (according to the scenario used by the NGFS) and in other policy relevant scenarios. It includes exposure (%) for Malaysia such as land fraction and population exposed to floods and heatwaves under different climate scenarios.

It also includes forward-looking projections of annual expected economic damage from river floods and cyclones, impact on labour productivity due to heat stress, and others.

JC3 Climate Data Catalogue (Joint Committee on Climate Change)
The data catalogue is aimed at serving as a source of reference on climate and environmental data. Click here to download the full catalogue.

Climate Change Knowledge Portal (World Bank)
The Climate Change Knowledge Portal (CCKP) provides national-level data for variables such as surface air temperature, precipitation, and natural disasters.

Global Resilience Index (GRI) Risk Viewer (University of Oxford)
The GRI Risk Viewer is a data and analytics portal covering hazards, exposure, vulnerability and risk to infrastructure and people. It includes key hazards (e.g. river flooding, coastal flooding, extreme heat, landslides, earthquakes), exposure (e.g. population, infrastructure, industry, buildings) and vulnerability.

NSRF Data to Disclosures Forum – 17 October 2025

The Data to Disclosures Forum (D2D Forum) was conducted to help preparers bridge critical sustainability data gaps and strengthen their readiness to meet sustainability reporting requirements. Through panel discussions, practical demonstrations, and direct engagement with key data custodians, the D2D Forum aimed to equip participants with the tools and knowledge to access national climate datasets, leverage reporting platforms, and apply suitable methodologies that enhance disclosure quality and decision-usefulness.
