In 2018, the Saudi Exchange (formerly the Saudi Stock Exchange ‘Tadawul’) became a partner exchange supporting the UN Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative to promote ESG awareness initiatives and encourage sustainable investment. Since then, Saudi Exchange has engaged with listed companies, standards-setters, index providers, ratings providers, investors, and other stock exchanges, to help advance ESG disclosure in the Saudi capital market.
The ESG guidelines have been created as a useful resource for listed companies in Saudi Arabia to help them navigate ESG. This is important as ESG is an ever-changing
landscape; as it advances and the Saudi capital market continues to develop, an updated version will be issued. The intention is to ensure the guidelines remain relevant and can continue to act as a catalyst supporting the sustainable and inclusive growth of the Saudi capital market.
