MAS, SGX Group launches disclosure portal for sustainability reporting

The portal simplifies the disclosure process using a core set of metrics.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Singapore Exchange (SGX Group) has launched ESGenome –- a digital disclosure portal for companies to report Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) data.

According to MAS and SGX Group, the portal simplifies the disclosure process using a set of 27 SGX core ESG metrics mapped across global standards and frameworks. 

Through the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution operated by World Wide Generation (WWG), companies can also make additional disclosures in line with globally recognised ESG reporting standards and frameworks across more than 3,000 ESG metrics, depending on materiality and their business needs.

“Companies need only provide a one-time input for each ESG metric – these inputs can be automatically mapped across their selected standards and frameworks to cater to different investor requirements,” the MAS and SGX Group said in a joint statement.

“A sustainability report can be automatically generated from the inputs,” they added.

Investors and financial institutions can also use ESGenome since it can provide them “access to relevant and comparable ESG data that allows for meaningful peer benchmarking and tracking of sustainability commitments.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
