An anti-graft group has called for data on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from steel producers to be made public for greater transparency, reported Free Malaysia Today portal.
The Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) said that based on a study it published, reporting and data on GHG emissions were lacking. It added that uneven requirements to disclose such information allowed high-emission practices to go unchecked.
To compound matters, the fragmented directives across ministries and agencies weaken coordination and regulation, it said.
C4 also said that foreign-owned steel producers operate carbon-intensive technologies with limited scrutiny.
“Existing governance gaps in Malaysia’s steel industry risk undermining the country’s climate commitments unless stronger transparency and regulatory reforms are implemented,” it said in a statement.
