DSE signs commitment letter with UN SSE initiative

Dhaka Stock Exchange Limited (DSE) has signed a commitment letter with the United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchange (SSE) initiative, joining nearly 75 stock exchanges worldwide committed to sharing information and working with stakeholders to promote the sustainability and transparency of capital markets, reports BSS.

The SSE initiative is a United Nations (UN) initiative, working as a partnership between the UN, UN-supported organizations, stock exchanges, investors, companies, regulators and governments, said a DSE media release yesterday.

The SSE aims to provide an effective platform for peer-to-peer dialogue among global exchanges. By exploring how stock exchanges can work together with investors, regulators, and companies, the SSE hopes to encourage sustainable investment, while also enhancing corporate transparency and performance in respect to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues.

Stock exchanges can encourage responsible investments by offering sustainability indices and other relevant financial instruments. Moreover, by encouraging their listed companies to measure and publicly report their ESG performance and impacts, stock exchanges can promote better business practices within their capital markets.

“We are delighted to join the UN SSE initiative on June 7, 2018. This collaboration with SSE Initiative will offer us an opportunity to deliver internationally renowned ESG reporting expertise in Bangladesh, which would be of benefit to all our capital market stakeholders,” said KAM Majedur Rahman, Managing Director of DSE.

“We firmly believe that collaboration of DSE with SSE Initiative will strengthen our efforts and bring a better outcome in promoting sustainable investment and reporting in Bangladesh,” he added.
