The i-ESG Framework's objective is to accelerate the transition towards sustainable practices among manufacturing companies, with four key pillars - standards, financing, capacity building, and market mechanisms - supported by 17 strategies, 50 deliverables, and six key enablers.

In Phase 1.0, MITI is hosting clinic sessions to empower and guide 50 companies in producing their first sustainability report. The first clinic is set for the end of October 2023, and interested companies can contact their respective business associations or chambers for details.
