Sustainability

Situated at the heart of South Africa’s capital markets, the JSE is well-positioned to drive long-term sustainable economic growth, stability and resilience in our economy.

We are committed to operating at the highest regulatory standards, adopting sustainable business practices and advocating sustainability reporting by JSE-listed companies. We believe this will build trust and contribute to long-term value for our stakeholders.

Stock exchanges can contribute to the aims of sustainable development behaviour by advising on a systematic approach to environmental, social and governance (ESG) in corporate reporting, promoting global corporate governance codes and standards and offering products and services that support responsible investing.

Read more about our sustainability approach, our corporate social investment (CSI), our commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations Global Compact and our climate change work and transformation initiatives.
