This year\u2019s report, therefore, spotlights the remarkable progress we made in implementing our strategic objectives with corresponding measurable impact on all stakeholder groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv6516537996MsoNormal\">\u201cRecognising the critical role the capital market plays in achieving the SDGs, we also pushed forward in our commitment to galvanise action towards responsible business practices and disclosures by issuing the NSE Sustainability Disclosure Guidelines and launching the Facts Behind the Sustainability Report series. These initiatives, amongst others, will have a far reaching impact on the practice of disclosure of non-financial activities across the private sector and further position the economy in favor of the big shift towards inclusive economic growth, driven by sustainable, responsible and impact investment\u201d, Mr. Orojimi added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv6516537996MsoNormal\">The report was written in accordance with the \u201ccore\u201d option of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and complies with the minimum requirements of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) Communication of Progress (COP). In addition, the report aligns with the reporting requirements of the NSE Sustainability Disclosure Guidelines. Prior to the 2019 sustainability report, the NSE has published five sustainability reports in accordance with the GRI sustainability reporting guidelines.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigerian Stock Exchange (\u201cThe Exchange or NSE\u201d) has released its 2019 Sustainability Report themed \u201cEncouraging Sustainable Businesses, Promoting Inclusive Growth\u201d.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":37938,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[7819,7818],"coauthors":[2391],"class_list":["post-44926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-business","tag-encouraging-sustainable-businesses","tag-sustainability-report"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.9 -
