Events and other news

On Tuesday 20 September 2016, the JSE hosted its annual ESG Investor Briefing. This year’s eventtook place at the newly-launched JSE Exchange Hub in Cape Town.

Four companies presented their approach to sustainability and ESG to investors from across thevalue chain.

n Gold Fields

n Anglo American

n Sasol

n Woolworths Holdings

The event was yet again a big success with the participating companies and attending investorscommenting on its value. One company commented that “It is extremely worthwhile to interact withthese investors and we have had a number of follow-ups from the forum”, while an attendee commentedthat “Having attended these briefings for the last few years, it is incredible the evolution in the standard ofpresentations being made by these companies. … the content and interaction is fantastic”.

On the international stage, the conversations around ESG and responsible investment continue tointensify. During September, the JSE participated in the Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) Initiative’sGlobal Dialogue in Singapore. At this event, the 2016 Report on Progress (seewww.sseinitiative.org/2016rop/) was released. The report finds that exchanges are increasingly takingactions that contribute to creating more sustainable capital markets. The JSE features as a case studyon creating a corporate ESG reporting culture in South Africa.

Consensus is clear that integration of ESG into investment decision-making is growing, with the UNPrinciples for Responsible Investment recently releasing an ESG integration guide for equity investors(see www.unpri.org). It is also worth looking out for the next report and recommendations of theFinancial Stability Board’s Task Force for Climate-related Disclosures (see www.fsb-tcfd.org).

Finally, GRI will be launching their sustainability reporting standards soon, and the EY Excellence inIntegrated Reporting Awards was released recently, finding a number of positive developments in relationto integrated reporting over the last five years. The report is available from EY South Africa’s web site.
