SGX RegCo seeks feedback on adopting ISSB standards into sustainability reporting rules

Consultation is open until 5 April 2024.

SGX RegCo is consulting the market on how to incorporate International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards into its sustainability reporting rules for climate-related disclosures.

This is in line with the Sustainability Reporting Advisory Committee’s recommendations announced on 28 February 2024.

SGX also seeks feedback on a proposal to make primary components mandatory on sustainability reports from the current “comply” or “explain” basis. 

“SGX-listed issuers have improved their sustainability reporting over the years. Most already undertake climate-related disclosures based on the TCFD recommendations. The ISSB Standards have since been launched globally to meet demand for more consistent and comparable disclosures. We want to help issuers report based on these new standards so that they are ready for a low-carbon future,” Tan Boon Gin, CEO of SGX RegCo said.

The consultation is open until 5 April 2024.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
