ASEAN stock exchanges collaborates to develop sustainability framework

Creating an ESG ecosystem is amongst the initiatives to drive sustainability in ASEAN.

Singapore Exchange (SGX), Bursa Malaysia, Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), and The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), announced a collaboration on the ASEAN-Interconnected Sustainability Ecosystem (ASEAN-ISE).

The collaboration will advance ASEAN’s sustainable development by implementing common ESG metrics in their data infrastructures.

Bursa Malaysia will oversee the successful execution of the objective as the ASEAN-ISE Secretariat.

Objectives of the initiative include creating an ESG ecosystem to promote sustainability in ASEAN, enabling Participating Exchanges to scale cost-efficient solutions, and allowing Participating Exchanges to assist ESG-compliant corporates to maximise business value through quality disclosures.

The Participating Exchanges will consider local considerations and the maturity level of their respective markets.

They will adopt and implement “ASEAN Exchanges Common ESG Metrics” in their ESG reporting platforms.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
