Sharing insights on the value of incorporating ESG data metrics for responsible investing, Darron Scorgie, Head of Africa, Signatory Relations, noted that \u201cAfrican investors are recognizing that their journey to a sustainable financial system is going to be a little different from developing markets, and are increasingly inching forward by considering investments in sustainable outcomes alongside their objectives for long-term financial returns.\u00a0 Dave Reubzaet, Director, Capital Markets, shared insights on the value of ESG integration for investors and regulators, stating, \u201cfor investors, ESG metrics is key to look at financial materiality and impact, and to put sustainability expectations and data in in the context of emerging markets. In addition, for regulators it is important to align as much as possible with existing sustainability standards, to create a global common language and metrics and to reduce the compliance burden, time and cost\u201d.<\/p>\n

This virtual event was set up in line with the Exchange\u2019s commitment to foster the growth of long-term sustainable finance in the Nigerian capital market in a bid to help investors, companies, market regulators and practitioners by\u00a0an opportunity for sharing of experiences and strategies on how investors make sound investment decisions using ESG metrics\/data.
