Dokani: EGX at forefront of int’l bourses issuing sustainability index
Egyptian Exchange (EGX) Chairman Ramy El Dokani said the Egyptian bourse came at the forefront of international bourses that showed interest in issuing a sustainability index which was launched in 2010.
He said EGX is working with listed companies on the sustainability file, noting that some companies are interested in green buildings and having environmentally sustainable facilities within the framework of ongoing efforts to protect the environment.
As some companies opted to have green buildings, this means that they have administrative cadres capable of implementing green economy strategies.
Dokani made the remarks on Tuesday during the opening session of the 5th Forum on Strategies for Transition to Green Economy which is organized by CSR Egypt under the theme of Green DNA “Sustainable Finance and Impact Investment”.
The one-day gathering – under the patronage of the Social Solidarity Ministry – includes discussion panels on green financing products and the importance of technical support to ensure a sustainable impact.
The event also reviews offers of the Smart Green Projects Initiative as well as sustainable growth opportunities in sectors that are most attractive to responsible investments and green supply chains.
