We couldn't agree more - transformation within markets is needed to respond to climate change. And speaking of climate change… Here at the SSE, we promote transparency and encourage stock exchanges to support climate-friendly investments by enhancing sustainability reporting and integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. We collaborate with exchanges globally to help foster green finance and guide listed companies towards reducing their carbon footprints, aligning with climate action goals. Climate action. It’s not just a moral argument. It’s a business one too.  Have you seen Chapter Zero ’s latest adverts in the Financial Times ?
