Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) is committed to driving sustainability in financial markets. In line with best practices, ADX has issued its Sustainability Report, demonstrating the importance of ESG and positioning it at the heart of the Emirates’ financial system. It is well known that ESG has a positive impact on capital access, revenue growth, brand value and reputation, as well as in the recruitment and retention of human capital, and is therefore of increasing importance to investors. ADX continues to provide support to their listed companies through the issuance of ESG guidelines and the organisation of a series of workshops to increase their awareness of ESG principles and their role in improving transparency. ADX has also collaborated with FTSE Russell to create an ESG compliant index for the Exchange, enhancing its attractiveness to foreign investors and improving the global competitiveness of its trading environment. The new indices will widen investor audiences and institutions to the ADX index family, increase the quality and depth of sustainable investments in the UAE and enhance the performance of its financial markets.
