In partnership with SAC Capital, this Sustainability E-Training for Directors programme is designed for listed company directors to be equipped with an overview of sustainability and highlights the relevance of sustainability reporting for listed issuers on the Singapore Exchange (SGX).
Programme Overview
With the rising importance and pressure to combat climate change and having companies to be Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) responsible, SGX has made the move to mandate climate-related disclosures from financial year 2022. Climate-related disclosure rules were announced in December 2021 after a public consultation. All listed companies must provide disclosures on a ‘comply or explain’ basis in their sustainability reports for financial years (FY) starting on or after 1 January 2022 and issued in 2023 or later.
The Sustainability E-Training for Directors programme is a prescribed course that directors may attend to fulfil the new SGX requirements with regard to director’s training on sustainability. This programme provides an insight to enhance directors’ understanding of sustainability reporting and the balancing of financial and non-financial ESG
pressures from its stakeholders and the environment.
