Following an announcement by the Singapore Stock Exchange in August 2010, which encourages more sustainability disclosure by listed and soon-to-list companies, the panellists confirmed that more companies should produce regular public disclosure on sustainable business practices in order to compete in a global market, to enable more informed investment decisions and to meet stakeholder expectations. The panel comprised some of Singapore's key opinion leaders and the discussion covered topics such as the business case for disclosure, the challenges of sustainability disclosure, a response to the SGX announcement, external assurance of sustainability reports and various reporting formats.
