1.0 INTRODUCTION.
Non-financial reporting or sustainability reporting in the annual financial report have
been another matter of interest to the stakeholders over the past two decades . Sustainability
report is defined as the report that makes connection between corporate financial report and
environmental issue, social and governance behavior transparent. These non financial items
include the contribution of Corporate to environmental , social, corporate ethics, and
governance.
Firms would be seen to be transparent in reporting their annual report when the non-
financial item reported in their annual report. However, the non-financial reporting is not a must
for every company. Firm will report this non financial item in their while annual report if only that
item is importance to the company stakeholder.
To reporting the non-financial item in the company annual report is currently voluntary,
it offers some benefit to company especially in term of stake holder engagement and reputation.
In Malaysia to reporting the non-financial item in the firm annual report is not required and even
there is no act and regulations by government to require the non-financial reporting to reported
in the annual report.
Since 2007, the stock exchange Bursa Malaysia has put a condition on the firms listed
for sustainability reporting starting December 2007 , followed by the speech of the former prime
minister of Malaysia 's fifth Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi expressed the need for companies
listed on the Bursa Malaysian to report their CSR initiatives . In Malaysia, the Corporate Social
Report is in priority to the report . Since the enforced requirement to report sustainable report ,
currently , the majority of listed companies have implemented in their annual report.
Among the items included in the sustainability report is concerned with the role of the
community or corporate social responsibility ( CSR ) , the governance of the company to
stakeholder or corporate governance and corporate responsibility for environmental care. These
three things are fundamental to the sustainability report in Malaysia , however, reports on CSR
are more concerned by the majority of companies in Malaysia because it is required by the
Bursa Malaysian.

CSR or corporate social responsibility, as defined by United Nations Industrial
Development Organization(UNIDO) as a management concept whereby companies integrate
social and environmental concerns in their business operations and interactions with their
stakeholders. CSR is generally understood as a way to achieve balance in corporate economic,
environmental and social imperatives . Popular examples of CSR is charity , give scholarships
and provide the best service for customer.
Apart from the company's contribution to society , the effectiveness of the system of
rules , practices and processes by which a company is directed and controlled . Corporate
governance essentially involves balancing the interests of the many stakeholders in a company
- these include its shareholders , management, customers , suppliers , financiers , government
and the community. It 's called as the Corporate Governance ( CG ) . in this case , a company 's
value is based on management, action plans and internal controls to measure performance and
corporate disclosure.
Environmental sustainability has become one of the new issues hit to many
companies. The issue of how the impact of its operations on the environment and what their
contribution to the environment is also a concern of the stakeholders and society. Therefore, the
sustainability of the environment is also seen as a need to measure the company's concern for
the environment. Among the issues that matter she is often seen as moving towards green
technology, the use of renewable resources and recycling.
2.0 THE CHALENGES OFSUSTAINABILITY REPORT AMONG COMPANIES IN MALAYSIA.
The need of the importance the companies listed in Bursa Malaysia for sustainability
reporting is relatively new compared to other developed countries. Therefore, there are still
some challenges faced by the firm to report on their sustainability into the annual report. Among
the challenges faced are There is no common format or general standard for reporting on
sustainability into the annual report, sustainability is still regarded as unimportant by most
companies in Malaysia and the enforcement of the sustainability report is not comprehensive,
especially to the SME industrial firms.

Sustainability reporting is something that is new in Malaysia, most of the companies in
Malaysia only report their CSR activities only, for the environment, most companies did not
disclose in their annual report, which shows that there is no activity on the companies in
protecting the environment . The key factor to this issue is, most companies are not educated
about how to report and undertake activities of their company to care for the environment. Now
the agency is active in creating awareness among the firms in the importance of environmental
sustainability is ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) has provided
guidelines for environmental sustainability to be practiced in the companies in Malaysia.
According to a report by PwC Malaysia, nearly 81% of companies stated that
sustainability is very relevent to their business, but it was not until half of them had to put
sustainability strategy in line with the other objectives of a business . The report also spell out
that only a small fraction of the companies that make regular boardroom agenda. Although there
was an increase of nearly 80% of companies run sustainability, but only 26% only in accordance
with standards set by the international dang. Among the factors that led to sustainability is not a
primary objective of most of the company's business objectives in line with the other is the lack
of exposure and pressure from governments to companies to conduct such environmental
sustainability.
Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA) in 2009, states that the
environmental sustainability of SMEs in Malaysia is still low and is not exhaustive. In fact, forSMEs in Malaysia, sustainability are still new and still in a dilemma. As most SMEs are not listed
in Bursa Malaysia, the sustainability reporting in the annual report is not required. However, the
various parties see the need and importance of SMEs also report their sustainability in order to
see the transparency and reliability of their business, particularly in the care of the environment.

them to the stakeholder.
Overall, the report financial sustainability of three companies namely Maybank,
CIMB Bank and AMBANK found that the CSR report is a report that is preferred by all
companies. This is because the government has made it mandatory for companies listed on the
stock exchange to report on CSR in their annual reports. Therefore, all companies comply with
these rules. For the Environmental Report found that all companies less for reporting in annual
reports, most states only report about the campaign for environmental awareness, no new ideas
in running environmental conservation. This is because reports regarding environmentalsustainability is something that is still new to the practice. For every company's corporate
Gorvernance report with its own rules. corporate governance is seen as an important element to
reflect transparency in the management of the company by the corporate governance report is
also very important to the company in its own way.

5.0 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the sustainability report is one more important element in the
company's annual report, it shows transparency and the company's contribution to
society and the state to all stakeholders and even society itself. In addition, the report
also sustainability can be seen to reflect corporate concerns on the problems of the
people and with the help of their other shows success in a country through a close
collaboration between government and the private sector.
In Malaysia, the sustainability report is one element that is still new to the
practice in the company in Malaysia. The assumption that the annual report only
economic report the matter needs to be changed. Thus government action in requiring
all companies listed on the stock exchange to report corporate social responsibility is a
wise move and get upgradeable in the future to also require other issues reported in the
company's annual report in malaysia.
This can be seen in the report with respect to the environment when it is not
seen as something that needs to be reported by the company in Malaysia, while the
report with respect to the environment is very important to ensure that each company
contributes to the improvement of environmental quality in this country. Thereforeenforcement and further research should be undertaken immediately report to the wider
sustainability practiced throughout Malaysia.
