Press release - Collaboration entre la Bourse de Tunis et l'IFC

30/11/2023

As part of its membership in the United Nations' Sustainable Stock Exchange Initiative, launched in 2015, Tunis Stock Exchange has developed an ESG reporting guide in collaboration with the financial market regulator, the Financial Market Council. This Guide, which was published at the end of 2021, is intended to assist listed companies, those preparing to go public, and public companies in presenting and promoting their commitments to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and their contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In this context, and in collaboration with the International Finance Corporation, an institution of the World Bank Group, Tunis Stock Exchange intends, following the publication of this guide, to support an initial pilot cohort of companies in the implementation of a Corporate Social Responsibility approach, leading to the production and publication of ESG reporting. This collaboration will also extend to supporting the market's efforts to gain experience in this area and enrich the range of indices offered by the Tunis Stock Exchange with an ESG index.
