Sustainability and climate change
Growing a sustainable business is more than just ticking a box. You’re shaping real, lasting change—for your business and our world.
It means setting strong goals for the environment and society, making sure no one gets left behind as you grow. When you put trust and resilience at the core of your business, you build for the long run.
Responsibility isn’t optional. It’s essential. ESG risks and opportunities connect everything you do. Manage them well and you’ll unlock value and spark new growth—again and again.
At PwC, we’re determined to play our part.
We help you make a positive impact on the world. Drawing on our deep expertise and a global network of over 11,500 sustainability specialists, we help you see what's ahead and act with confidence.
Together, we will guide you identify the areas that pose the greatest ESG risks to your business, form strategies to address them and support you through the necessary organisational changes and reporting processes—turning theory into a practical, purpose-led plan. We empower you to plan, source, deliver and measure the broader impact of your products and services, so that you can stay resilient, agile and sustainable.
Sustainability meets AI: Bringing impact where it’s most needed
The integration of sustainability with artificial intelligence (AI) is presenting a new array of opportunities and challenges for businesses. The optimism that comes with realising productivity gains in data collection and making better decisions around environmental impact, needs to be balanced with a cautious approach in assessing the risks associated with this nascent advancement. Reinvention efforts that go far are the ones grounded on trust, and conceived through collaborations. The responsibility rests on business leaders to role model and reinforce the responsible use of AI throughout their organisations.

PwC Malaysia is proud to serve as the delivery partner of Climate Finance Accelerator in Malaysia
The Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) is a global technical assistance programme funded by International Climate Finance (ICF), through the UK government’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). The programme aims to directly support climate projects to access finance and help governments achieve climate targets under the Paris Agreement.
CFA is now live in Malaysia, offering business owners and project developers committed to cutting carbon emissions the opportunity to secure investment for their projects.
PwC Malaysia is proud to serve as the delivery partner of CFA in Malaysia. From 21 January until 6 March 2026, businesses can submit their proposals to be considered for access to investors. Up to 15 projects will be selected to join the first cohort of CFA Malaysia.
The programme will run over a nine-month period until November 2026, during which tailored capacity building support will be given to shortlisted projects to increase their chances of finding investment. In November 2026, these shortlisted projects will have the opportunity to pitch to investors at an in-country event in Kuala Lumpur.
The programme targets projects in sectors such as energy efficiency, renewable energy, bioenergy/waste, green mobility, green construction, and the circular economy.
Since 2020, the CFA has supported more than 200 projects across ten countries, helping them secure almost US$500 million in investment. In the latest phase of this programme, CFA will be active in ten countries. Besides Malaysia, the other countries launching CFA for the first time are India, Indonesia, Kenya, and Thailand.
