Sustainability Together
Shaping a global economy fit for the 21st century is our greatest challenge. By 2050, the world must satisfy the needs of more than 9 billion people, of which over 5 billion are expected to reside in Asia.
As the region’s most international and trusted exchange, SGX believes that economic growth and sustainability are inter-dependent. Reshaping this sustainable future requires the ecosystem to work in partnership. Anchored on three pillars, SGX FIRST is our platform that facilitates collaboration within the ecosystem to catalyse change and deliver growth in a sustainable manner.

As a company

“Investors today want to combine financial returns with a positive contribution to the environment and society. Sustainability and growth are not a zero-sum game. Exchanges can actively encourage market participants to shift to more sustainable behaviour and reinforce the long-term benefits of adopting ESG strategies. The launch of FIRST reinforces our commitment toward co-creating a sustainable future with and for our partners.”
