The Question Every Board Asks

# What Does It Cost You NOT To Have This?

Decarbonisation has moved from the periphery of corporate strategy to its absolute centre. It is no longer something a company does to be admired. It is something a company must do to survive.

The Alternative

## The Cost of Fragmentation

Consider what happens today when a Malaysian Major or GLC decides it must "do decarbonisation."

The decision is made. The intent is genuine. And then the fragmentation begins.

The company hires a global strategy consultancy that claims expertise in the industry for USD 1-3 million. It produces a PowerPoint deck. Nothing is built. Nothing is connected. No carbon credit is procured.

Then a Big Four firm for ESG reporting. Then carbon brokers. Then project developers. Then MRV systems. Then regulatory advisors. Then structured finance advisory.

### The Fragmented Approach

- 10-15 separate vendors
- Zero integration between them
- No single point of accountability
- No institutional memory
- No coherent architecture
- Conflicting advice from advisors
- Management bandwidth consumed
- Gaps between overlapping mandates

### The Scopenexum Institution

- One institutional relationship
- 24 facets unified under one framework
- Single point of accountability
- Sovereign-grade governance
- Coherent national architecture
- Integrated strategic counsel
- Board-level institutional advisory
- Full spectrum execution

### The Real Cost is Not the Invoices

The real cost of fragmentation is measured in time lost to vendor coordination, gaps between overlapping mandates, conflicting advice from advisors who cannot see the full picture, and the fundamental absence of a coherent institution.

Existential Risks

## The Cost of Inaction

The cost of failing to address decarbonisation is not a line item. It is a cascade of compounding losses.

### Lost EU Market Access

CBAM certificates at 80-100 per tonne render unmanaged exports economically unviable for aluminium, steel, cement, and hydrogen.

### Domestic Carbon Tax Liability

Malaysia's 2026 carbon tax imposes direct costs on every tonne of emissions in iron, steel, and energy sectors.

### Capital Market Lockout

ESG-linked financing is now standard. Without credible transition plans, cost of capital increases and access to institutional capital is at risk.

### Stranded Assets

Fossil-fuel-dependent assets lose value in an accelerating energy transition, destroying balance sheet value.

### Regulatory Penalties

Non-compliance with Bursa Malaysia disclosure requirements, Securities Commission mandates, and sector regulations.

### Competitive Erosion

Loss of positioning in global supply chains that are greening faster than most Malaysian boards recognise.

The Alternative

## Institutional Transformation

Every phase. Every facet. Every point at which the twenty-four facets fire in sequence, overlap, reinforce one another.

1

### The Boardroom Decision

Not with a consultant's pitch deck, but with an institutional access decision. The board resolves to sign the National Decarbonisation Infrastructure Access Agreement - the same framework as accessing a stock exchange or the national grid.

2

### Knowing Where You Stand

Before a company can decarbonise, it must know - with institutional-grade precision - what it emits. Credible, auditable emissions baselines across the entire operations and value chain, built to withstand regulatory scrutiny.

3

### Execution Under One Architecture

Strategy, procurement, project development, certification, compliance, financing - all through one institution with sovereign-grade governance and accountability.

## The Question is Not Whether Decarbonisation Costs Money

It does. The question is whether that money is spent strategically, under institutional governance, with accountability and integration - or scattered across a dozen disconnected vendors.
