Two Far East stock exchanges have decided to lead by example by producing reports in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines.
The Singapore and Hong Kong exchanges have both published 2009 sustainability reports in line with the GRI Guidelines, becoming the first bourses in the world to do so.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited is also to promote CSR among its 1300 listed companies by developing a code, following similar moves by the Shanghai, Shenzhen and Taiwan stock exchanges.
