Asean exchanges formalise sustainability governance efforts

Last week (September 12), six Asean-based exchanges published a list of ten governance aims that form part of the regional bloc’s Common ESG Metrics. The points constitute the final component in a list of 27 comprehensive recommendations for disclosure by listed companies in the regional markets, which span the full breadth of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. Those covering “E” (environment) and “S” (social) elements were published in March and December 2022, respectively.
