Document summary

Efforts are being made towards internationally integrated reporting which aims to offer investors and regulators a single report addressing a company’s overall performance on ESG as well as economic factors. Stock exchanges are in a position to promote improved ESG practices and reporting among the companies on their exchanges. An assessment of the current sustainability structures and practices at 30 of the world’s stock exchanges is made. International committees, business leaders and policymakers are taking steps to expand the reach and influence of global exchanges in the effort to create a sustainable future.
