The AIX recognises the need to create an environment for better disclosure practices on how organizations measure and monitor their ESG risk factors and opportunities. Transparency and clear communication about ESG metrics and targets used by the listed entity with appropriate disclosures allows investors and other stakeholders to make better investment and other decisions.
