To turn your clients' ESG mandatory reporting pains into your strategic advantage to grow revenue!

 

As governments worldwide grapple with the pressing issue of climate change, they're implementing increasingly stringent regulations to drive sustainability. A significant part of this effort involves mandatory ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting for public listed companies and large private firms. This regulatory push, while directly impacting larger organizations, has far-reaching implications for non-large companies, particularly those supplying products or services to these larger entities.

 

To address this need, ACMF ESG, a division of ACMF Group, and CBASS (Circular Business Association) have jointly launched ESG-Ready Certification Level One and Level Two courses. These programs are designed to equip non-large companies with the knowledge and tools necessary to implement effective ESG practices and prepare them for the ESG reporting of their clients in different countries that might not have the same ESG reporting mandates due to the different countries' priorities, and existing & incoming ESG regulations.

 

To leverage on the expertise of ACMF & CBASS' talents from Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Latin America, the courses offer a comprehensive and global perspective on ESG; all classes, discussions, and activities are conducted online.

Introduction of ACMF and CBASS working teams

​

I am thrilled to introduce you to ACMF and our esteemed partner, the Circular Business Association (CBASS).

​

ACMF is comprised of a distinguished group of ESG consulting, international private capital-raising, and sell-side M&A consulting firms. Our group was co-founded by over 10 experienced professionals and shareholders residing in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand, and the United Kingdom. Our teams of co-founders, shareholders, and talents boast a collectively impressive background in investment banking, business advisory, venture capital, private equity, and ESG consultation. Additionally, our experts have influenced over five United Nations climate policies and involved over 10 successful IPOs, including two tech unicorns.

 

Specifically on the ESG front, we have access to talents and expertise who jointly bring more than 80 years of experience in ESG, armed with distinguished qualifications like the Master of Science in Economics for Natural Resource and Environmental Management, Environmental Management for Business, Sustainable Urban Development, Climate Policy, Tropical Biology Research and Logistics and Supply Chain Management from top universities. Our talent pool has been involved in municipal solid waste management plans towards zero waste and estimating recycling rates and practices, as well as drafting a nation’s SDG roadmap and Voluntary National Review to be presented globally at a High Level Political Forum. We also have talents who had been selected as a Schmidt MacArthur Fellow on Circular Economy since 2016, appointed as a Jury Member for the Gulf Cooperating Countries Circularity Awards for two years, as well as co-founded and invited as a non-legal content curator for a 5-episode webinar and podcast series on environmental rights with a nation’s Bar Council. Our talents have also delivered content on sustainability and circular economy to top universities in UK, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Chile (Latin America).  

 

As the co-founding and chairing body of the Circular Business Association, we have played an instrumental role in formulating the Circular Business Blueprint methodology as well as developing and delivering flagship programmes including, the ESG-Ready! Certification Programme, the Circular Transitions Programme, and the Carbon Market Journey Readiness Programme. The Circular Business Association is a leading ecosystem builder dedicated to solving the climate crisis by accelerating business transition to a profitable circular economy. Established as a non-profit registered under the Registrar of Societies in Malaysia in 2022, our global association unites devoted talents and solution providers keen on making a significant difference in the world while achieving substantial financial success. The association is supported by Honorary Advisors with extensive expertise and a collective ESG-related assets under management exceeding USD 15 billion.

 

ACMF has been instrumental for CBASS to cultivate influential relationships with organizations like the Hainan International Carbon Emissions Exchange, London Climate Tech Show, and the Smart Cities Network. Our work has been pivotal in joint webinars with the likes of the Singapore Exchange (SGX), Indonesian Marketing Association, Zayed Sustainability Prize. We had also been selected as partners for distinguished events including the Economist Impact Global Plastics Summit 2023, which is one of the largest gathering of stakeholders advocating for a robust UN Plastics Treaty. 

 

On the International Private Capital Raising front, ACMF has dedicated its expertise to ensuring transformation is profitable, business-sustainable and investible. We are industry agnostic and have supported more than 55 different industries in international private fundraising readiness. In 2024, ACMF Group received the Top Investment Banking Service Provider in APAC Award from Financial Services Review USA. 

 

Since 2017, ACMF has had the honour of being invited to do a joint events with Bursa Malaysia, Singapore Exchange (SGX), Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) on Fundraising Readiness, IPO readiness and Methods to increase Company’s Future Valuation, which is very uncommon as local investment banks are usually preferred.In addition, ACMF had joint events with the China Regulator overseeing the Sanya, Hainan Free Trade opportunities for overseas companies, and with Indonesian regulators to share about Shariah-compliant Private Equity Funds. Our co-founder in China is also working with the top 5 largest ESG funds in China.       

 

With these backgrounds, ACMF is delivering a holistic and whole of ecosystem solution architecture to clients so that ESG business transformation and talent development does not only meet the requirements of compliance and passion, but also profitability, business sustainability and investibility. In doing so, we believe it will solve the triple challenge of: 1. the ‘taxi driver syndrome’ where businesses have low long term sustainability and eventually stop delivering their value to the world when the founders stop working; 2. The pain of climate crisis that will affect more than 1.2 billion people directly; and 3. Prevent world war and improving world peace by using business and joint prosperity to bring people, communities and nations to common ground.  

 

We are ecstatic about the potential to collaborate with individuals and organizations that share our vision for a sustainable future. Thank you for considering this partnership. We are eager to explore how we can work together to foster meaningful change.
