To our Stakeholders
UPHOLDING GOOD MARKETPLACE PRACTICES
Walking our Talk
Our statutory duty as a frontline regulator and market operator is to ensure
the sustainability of our capital markets. We are committed to operating and
maintaining a fair, transparent and orderly market with prudent risk management.
We endeavour to build a market that is liquid, of high quality and integrity, as well
as with competitive products and services, whilst developing an informed investing
and trading community. By advocating corporate governance and sustainability
best practices among public listed companies and implementing these throughout
the length and breadth of our organisation, we have been diligent in ensuring that
we ourselves “walk our talk”.
Fostering Responsible Corporate Practices
Over the course of 2013, we engaged in numerous strategic marketplace activities
to reinforce the importance of sustainable practices. To promote corporate
governance best practices among directors and practitioners, we issued the second
edition of the Corporate Governance Guide - Towards Boardroom Excellence, and
launched the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control - Guidelines
for Listed Issuers. We also conducted sustainability awareness and sustainability
reporting sessions for directors and practitioners.
