On April 24, 2018 the UN Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) Initiative announced that “Bursa Malaysia, an SSE partner exchange since 2015, recently launched BURSASUSTAIN, a comprehensive online portal designed as a one-stop knowledge and information hub on corporate governance and sustainability.
BURSASUSTAIN was developed following extensive research, benchmarking and engagement with various stakeholder groups. The hub aims to provide a platform for users, such as listed issuers, investors and other key stakeholders, to have easy access to the latest information on CG and sustainability. Designed to be user-friendly, BURSASUSTAIN contains webcasts, case studies, commentaries, videos, reports, e-learning and weekly news updates from both local and international sources, to serve stakeholders with diverging needs.
Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, Datuk Seri Tajuddin Atan said, ‘The Exchange in its role as a regulator, market operator and sustainability champion is in a unique position to influence and develop the Malaysian capital market by inculcating better and stronger corporate governance culture and sustainability practices. BURSASUSTAIN demonstrates our commitment to further elevate and integrate responsible business practices amongst our key stakeholders. What sets BURSASUSTAIN apart from other knowledge platforms is that it seeks to provide comprehensive and up-to-date information on developments and trends in the area of corporate governance and sustainability for our stakeholders.’”
BURSASUSTAIN contains three pillars: corporate governance, sustainability and responsible investment.
