Why this matters

ESG used to live in annual reports. Now it lives at your activations.

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, Governance — the three pillars used to judge whether a company actually walks its talk.

E

Environmental

Emissions, waste, resource use

S

Social

How you treat people

G

Governance

How you operate

The shift

For years, this lived in back-office reports. Not anymore. Bursa now requires listed companies to disclose the full carbon impact of their operations — brand activations included. Consumers fact-check green claims in real time. Auditors review what used to slide.

Why our clients care

The brands we work with — many Bursa-listed, all publicly visible — now answer to higher standards on what their brand events leave behind. Brand activations sit right at the centre of that scrutiny.

That's the world we've been quietly building for.

The Digital ESG Passport

One scan in. Every action tracked. Nothing wasted.

Here's what running an activation with the Digital ESG Passport actually looks like — from a guest's first scan to a brand's audit-ready export.

Ready to deploy

Activation modules. All eco-ready.

Same activations we've always built — redesigned to leave less behind. Mix, match, or run them all on the same passport.

Print-free Photo Booths

IN:FRAME Green Edition

Replaces
4×6 photo prints, ink cartridges, plastic photo backings, courier shipping of physical takeaways

Same fun moment. Guests scan a QR code to download their photos straight to their phone — with a sustainability overlay. Zero prints. Zero shipping.

Digital Game Stations

Powered by IMX Engine

Replaces
Traditional carnival games, plastic prize tokens, single-use branded toys destined for landfill

Same competition, same crowd-puller. Screen-based interactive play with digital rewards — no plastic prizes, no waste pile at teardown.

Upcycling Station

Bring-your-waste activation

Replaces
Single-use giveaways, plastic merchandise, branded swag bags, free samples destined for landfill

Guests turn donated and recycled materials into custom takeaways. Hands-on engagement that doubles as material diversion — every prize earned, not handed out.

Interactive Workshop

Reusable kits + digital instruction

Replaces
Standard demo workshops with paper handouts, plastic sample bags, single-use printed materials, disposable kits

Skill-building sessions powered by reusable tools and on-screen instruction. Guests learn, create, and leave with a digital portfolio — not a plastic bag of swag.

Materiality Workshops

Scenario-based decision exercise

Replaces
Lecture-only ESG training, paper handouts with no data capture, materiality matrices done in spreadsheets months after the event

80 senior managers vote on materiality with structured logging. You walk out of the session with a defensible primary-data answer pre-formatted to ISSB IFRS S2 and GRI 3 — not a deck of stock photos.

ESG Townhall Activations

Instrumented all-hands

Replaces
Passive all-hands events, untracked commute data, annual surveys returning 30% with guessed answers, Cat 7 commute spend-based estimates

Same townhall format your team already shows up to. Now instrumented end-to-end: commute capture at the door, dwell tracking on the floor, sentiment capture at exit. Per-function Cat 7 breakdowns by default.

For Bursa-listed brands

Your activations now belong in the annual report.

Under NSRF — Malaysia's National Sustainability Reporting Framework — Bursa-listed companies must now disclose Scope 3 emissions in their annual reports. That's the slice of your carbon footprint that lives outside your own walls.

Scope 1

Emissions you burn directly

Scope 2

Energy you purchase

Scope 3

Everything your supply chain emits

Activations live here

Every booth printed, every sample shipped, every stage built — those count toward your number, even when someone else builds them. We capture Categories 5 (waste generated) and 11 (use of sold products) at line-item level.

"Estimated from spend" no longer survives an auditor's review. Without tracking at the activation itself, your spend sits in a disclosure gap most agencies aren't equipped to close.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

The 22 questions sustainability officers, ESG leads, and procurement heads have actually asked us.

What is Scope 3 emissions reporting?

Scope 3 emissions reporting is the disclosure of all indirect greenhouse gas emissions produced in a company's upstream and downstream value chain — excluding direct emissions (Scope 1) and purchased electricity (Scope 2).

The GHG Protocol defines 15 Scope 3 categories. For most corporates, Scope 3 makes up 70–95% of total emissions.

In Malaysia, Scope 3 disclosure is increasingly required under the Bursa Sustainability Reporting Guide and the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF).

What are the 15 Scope 3 categories?

The GHG Protocol defines 15 Scope 3 categories. Instamedia captures the 5 highlighted below directly:

  • 1Purchased goods & services
  • 2Capital goods
  • 3Fuel & energy activities
  • 4Upstream transportation
  • 5Waste generated in ops
  • 6Business travel
  • 7Employee commuting
  • 8Upstream leased assets
  • 9Downstream transportation
  • 10Processing of sold products
  • 11Use of sold products
  • 12End-of-life treatment
  • 13Downstream leased assets
  • 14Franchises
  • 15Investments
Captured by Instamedia: Cat 1, 5, 6, 7, 11
Why is Scope 3 the hardest part of ESG reporting?

Scope 1 & 2 are invoice-driven and machine-readable. Scope 3 is human-driven and behaviourally messy.

The challenge by category:

  • Cat 6 & 7 (travel, commuting) — requires asking thousands of employees how they got somewhere.
  • Cat 1 (purchased goods) — needs SKU-level procurement data.
  • Cat 5 (waste) — needs weighing at the point of generation.

Most corporates default to spend-based estimates because primary capture is too logistically expensive. Instamedia compresses that capture into a single corporate event.

Is Scope 3 reporting mandatory in Malaysia (Bursa, NSRF, ISSB)?

For most Bursa-listed corporates: yes — your obligations are tightening and the timeline is short.

Malaysia's NSRF (administered by the Securities Commission) is rolling out phased adoption of ISSB IFRS S1 & S2:

  • Group 1 (Main Market, market cap RM 2bn+) — applying since 2025.
  • Group 2 (other Main Market issuers) — 2026.
  • Group 3 (ACE Market & large non-listed) — 2027.

ISSB S2 requires Scope 3 disclosure where material. Check sc.com.my/nsrf for current effective dates.

What is the difference between Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions?
  • Scope 1 — direct emissions from sources your company owns (vehicles, on-site fuel combustion, refrigerants).
  • Scope 2 — indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heat, or cooling.
  • Scope 3 — everything else in the value chain across 15 categories (purchased goods, travel, commuting, waste, use of sold products, end-of-life).

Scope 1 & 2 are usually small. Scope 3 is usually the dominant portion of a corporate footprint.

How do corporate events produce Scope 3 data?

Corporate events concentrate Scope 3 activity in time and space:

  • Townhall → Cat 7 (commuting) from every attendee at the door.
  • Offsite → Cat 6 (business travel) from regional attendees.
  • Upcycling station → Cat 5 (waste) by weighing what gets diverted.
  • Supplier roadshow → Cat 1 through procurement decision logging.
  • Product showcase → Cat 11 via attendee interaction.

Instrument the event. Capture the data. Export it audit-ready.

Which Scope 3 categories does the Instamedia platform capture?

Five categories — the ones that produce primary activity data when humans walk into a corporate event:

  • Cat 1 — Purchased goods & services
  • Cat 5 — Waste generated in operations
  • Cat 6 — Business travel
  • Cat 7 — Employee commuting
  • Cat 11 — Use of sold products

The remaining ten categories require different capture methods and live in other parts of your reporting stack.

What's the difference between Instamedia and ESG SaaS like Workiva or Persefoni?

We don't compete — our exports drop into them.

  • Workiva / Persefoni — systems of record. Your team inputs data; the system calculates & reports.
  • Instamedia — the engagement layer that produces the input data.

ESG SaaS is the reporting destination. Instamedia is the primary-data source. Most corporates need both.

Is the data GHG Protocol compliant?

Yes. Our schema is built against the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard.

Each captured data point maps to a defined category and inherits the appropriate emission factor logic.

Output formats:

  • GHG Protocol-aligned CSV template
  • Structured JSON for system ingestion
  • Methodology notes so your auditor can trace any number back to its capture moment
Can the output go directly into our Bursa sustainability report?

Yes. The Bursa Sustainability Reporting Guide disclosure fields are pre-mapped in our export.

Your sustainability team receives a dataset structured to drop directly into your reporting template. We don't write your sustainability report — we hand your team the primary-data exhibit that goes into it.

Does the platform integrate with our existing ESG software?

Yes. CSV and JSON exports are designed to ingest into:

  • Workiva
  • Persefoni
  • Greenstone
  • Internal data warehouses
  • Most enterprise sustainability platforms

We haven't built proprietary lock-in — the data is yours, in formats your existing stack already understands. Less common platforms? We confirm the ingestion path during the brief stage.

What does the live dashboard show?

Live counters during the event:

  • Attendees registered
  • Scope 3 data points captured per category
  • Kilograms of waste diverted
  • Top commute modes by frequency
  • Decision patterns from game stations
  • Engagement time per station

Your sustainability officer can refresh from anywhere with internet access throughout the activation. The dashboard freezes at event close and is replaced by the final dataset within seven working days.

Is the data audit-ready?

Yes. Audit-readiness means traceability, methodology documentation, and reproducibility.

Every captured data point carries:

  • Timestamp
  • Station ID
  • Anonymised attendee ID
  • Category tag

Your auditor (SIRIM, SGS, Bureau Veritas, or another) can trace any reported number back to its capture moment.

How much does a Scope 3 capture activation cost in Malaysia?
  • Single station (1-day event) — from RM 12,000
  • Multi-station ESG passport (full backend, dashboard, audit-ready exports) — RM 35,000–120,000
  • Annual programme (integrated with your ESG software stack) — from RM 150,000

Below RM 12,000 per event we're not the right fit — the capture engineering doesn't scale down meaningfully.

What is the lead time?
  • 2–4 weeks — variant on an existing format (re-skin, re-brand, custom questions).
  • 4–8 weeks — fully bespoke build with custom data schema.
  • 7 working days post-event — reporting deliverable arrives.

For corporates inside a reporting deadline: brief us 4–8 weeks ahead and we'll hit it.

Can we white-label this for our corporate brand?

Yes. Every front-end touchpoint is brandable — your logo, your colours, your tone of voice:

  • Passport interface
  • Game station screens
  • Upcycling station signage
  • Dashboard skin

The data schema and methodology stay GHG Protocol-aligned underneath. White-labelled is the default; co-branded ("powered by Instamedia") is optional and discounted.

Is this really first-of-its-kind in Malaysia? What is the proof?

As of May 2026, Instamedia is the first vendor in Malaysia and SE Asia offering Scope 3 data capture (GHG Protocol Cat 1, 5, 6, 7, 11) delivered through corporate engagement events.

No competitor in MY/SEA combines all three in a single platform:

  • Event activation
  • GHG-Protocol-aligned data export
  • Bursa / NSRF-mapped reporting

The claim is date-stamped, geographically specific, and combination-conditioned. We invite challenge from any provider claiming equivalent integrated scope.

Can we run this at multiple events across the year?

Yes — and this is where the platform produces its highest ROI for sustainability teams.

An annual programme instrumenting 4–8 events through the year produces a continuous primary-data stream into your reporting cycle, rather than the spend-based estimates most corporates currently rely on.

Per-event marginal cost reduces in a multi-event contract.

How does this reduce our ESG reporting cost stack?

Primary data reduces three downstream costs:

  • Consultancy hours spent estimating from spend data
  • Audit hours spent challenging weak data
  • Investor-relations hours spent defending estimates competitors are replacing with primary data

The capture layer adds a line item to your sustainability budget but typically reduces total reported-emissions defensibility cost by a larger amount inside two reporting cycles.

What happens to the data after the event?

You own the data.

We retain a working copy for the contracted period (typically 12 months) for support, audit response, or reprocessing. Beyond that, the data is yours to retain or destroy.

Personal data (attendee identifiers) is anonymised at export, in line with PDPA requirements. We'll sign your data-handling addendum during contracting.

Do you provide post-event Scope 3 reduction recommendations?

Not as part of the standard scope. Reduction strategy is the domain of your sustainability consultancy or in-house ESG team — we supply the measurement layer.

That said, captured data surfaces obvious reduction opportunities (which transport mode dominates, which waste stream dominates, which supplier category dominates Cat 1) — we flag those in the closing report as observations, not recommendations.

What is the difference between Scope 3 measurement and reduction, and which does Instamedia support?
  • Measurement — the act of capturing and reporting your value-chain emissions.
  • Reduction — changing supplier choices, transport modes, product designs, or operational behaviours to lower those emissions.

You can't reduce what you can't measure.

Instamedia operates exclusively in the measurement layer (primary-data capture for Cat 1, 5, 6, 7, 11). Reduction strategy sits with your sustainability function and any advisory partner you appoint.
