S&P and Hawkamah launch environmental corporate governance and sustainability indices
Standard & Poor’s and Hawkamah, the Institute for Corporate Governance, have teamed up to create a series of environmental corporate governance and sustainability indices for equity markets in the Middle East and North Africa. The S&P-Hawkamah ESG MENA indices are expected to include stocks from 11 markets initially and will raise the profile of local companies that perform well along the three parameters of environmental, social and corporate governance responsibility when compared to their peers.
