More data will be released soon on SGX-listed companies, Singapore’s statutory boards and the 100 largest Institutions of a Public Character (IPCs). The Council for Board Diversity (CBD) says it will publish the latest edition of its annual report on board diversity in a month’s time.
More than a quarter of the top 100 Singapore-listed issuers by market capitalisation have established a board sustainability committee as at Dec 31, 2023. Of these, some had extended the remit of an existing board committee, such as an audit committee becoming an audit and sustainability committee.
In comparison, only six of the top 100 Singapore-listed issuers had sustainability committees back in 2017, the year the Singapore Exchange (SGX:S68
) (SGX) mandated sustainability reporting for its issuers.
