BSE updates ESG guidelines

Speaking recently at an ESG roundtable, acting CEO, Kopano Bolokwe, said the guidance has been developed in partnership with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and is structured around recent developments in global disclosure standards.

These include GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards, European Sustainability Reporting Standards, and IFRS S1 Sustainability Disclosure Standards, amongst others. He said in developing the guidance, the BSE wanted interoperability between these standards to prevent the need for double reporting and support a more user-friendly reporting system that does not have undue complexity.
