KPMG - SGX Sustainability Management and Reporting Seminar 

The Guide to Sustainability Reporting for Listed Companies by Singapore Exchange (SGX) was published in June 2011 to assist companies in developing an adequate response to non-financial environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. This seminar aims to provide participants with practical advice to interpret and understand the importance of the guidelines as well as strategic sustainability management. It also aims to help participants develop this function within their own organisations.

 

The evolving nature of sustainability highlights the need for listed companies to address these issues strategically as the emerging paradigm also offers innovative companies opportunities to gain competitive advantage and leverage long-term shareholder value out of emerging risk.

 

Please join us for our second seminar in a series organised by KPMG and supported by the Singapore Exchange (SGX).
