AI-generated Summary

Kuala Lumpur, 10 December 2025 — To accelerate the adoption of sustainability disclosures among Malaysian corporations, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has integrated the XTOPIA AI Assistant into the official National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF) microsite.

This initiative, developed in collaboration with digital innovation agency XIMNET, aims to demystify the complexities of sustainability reporting and provide stakeholders ranging from listed issuers to investors with an intelligent, conversational interface to navigate Malaysia’s sustainability requirements.

Simplifying ESG Complexity through XTOPIA AI

Sustainability reporting, particularly under the newly launched NSRF, involves intricate standards, including the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (ISSB). Recognizing that users often struggle with voluminous technical documents, the XTOPIA AI Assistant acts as a digital concierge that transforms how regulatory information is consumed.

XTOPIA AI Assistant Visual-Centric User Interface Design

“We designed XTOPIA AI to solve the 'information overload' problem.By integrating our AI Assistant technology into the NSRF platform, we are helping the SC foster a more informed corporate ecosystem. It’s about moving from ‘searching for content’ to ‘getting answers’ instantly.” said Josephine Toh, Senior VP of XIMNET.

How XTOPIA AI works to enhance user comprehension and findability:

Contextual Intelligence & RAG Technology: Unlike traditional chatbots that rely on pre-scripted FAQ responses, the XTOPIA AI Assistant utilizes Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). It has been trained specifically on the NSRF’s regulatory library, circulars, and reporting templates. This ensures that when a user asks a question, the AI retrieves information directly from the latest official documents, providing accurate and context-specific answers.

Breaking Down Technical Jargon: Sustainability reporting is often heavy with technical acronyms and complex ESG terminology. XTOPIA AI is designed to "translate" this complexity into plain language. Users can ask, "What are the Scope 3 emission requirements for my industry?" and receive a simplified summary that is easy to comprehend, rather than having to manually scan through a 100-page PDF.

Instant Citations for Regulatory Accuracy: To maintain the highest levels of integrity, every response generated by the XTOPIA AI Assistant is accompanied by direct citations and links to the source documents on the NSRF website. This allows users to verify information instantly and refer to the exact paragraph of the regulatory guideline.

Semantic Search Capability: Users no longer need to remember exact keywords to find information. XTOPIA AI understands user intent. A query about "carbon reporting deadlines" will intelligently lead the user to the relevant transition pathways and disclosure timelines, even if those specific words aren't on the landing page.
