International Women's Day
Become a tradition, the annual ceremony "Ring the Bell for Gender Equality", was organized this year on March 05, 2020 in honor and in the presence of students from the “Tunis Higher School of Business”.
This ceremony, which is organized by Stock Exchanges in the World, in close coordination with the International Federation of Stock Exchanges (WFE) and the United Nations SSE Initiative, aims to promote the principle of gender equality and women's rights with stakeholders in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and to help achieve, in particular, the 5th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG).
It should be remembered that the Tunis Stock Exchange joined the United Nations SSE Exchanges initiative in September 2015, which focuses on promoting and strengthening skills with actors in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, with a view to achieving the following SDGs:
- SDG 5: Gender equality
- SDG 8: Decent work and Economic growth
- SDG 10: Reduced inequalities
- SDG 12: Responsible consumption and production
- SDG 13: Climate action
- SDG 17: Partnerships for the goals.
2024 ESG Disclosures by Listed Companies
Following the publication of eight (8) ESG reports in 2024, covering the 2023 fiscal year, 2025 began with a stronger momentum in the release of non-financial disclosures by listed companies.
This trend reflects the collective efforts of all stakeholders, as well as the growing maturity of listed companies, which are increasingly convinced of the value and importance of ESG reporting.
In this context, a first group of thirteen (13) listed companies has already published ESG reports this year.
Carbon footprint of listed companies for the 2024
In 2024, there was a significant increase in the number of listed companies reporting their carbon footprint, rising to nine companies compared to three in 2023.
ESG Report 2024 of Tunis Stock Exchange
Tunis Stock Exchange announces the publication of its first ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) Report 2024. Through this initiative, Tunis Stock Exchange confirms its ambition to be a leading actor in establishing ESG practices in the Tunisian financial market.
The report is a continuity of Tunis Stock Exchange's adherence to the United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) Initiative, and follows the issuance in 2021 of the ESG Reporting Guide, in collaboration with the Financial Market Council.
With the publication of its own ESG Report, Tunis Stock Exchange is continuing to play its role as a driving force for companies, particularly those listed on the stock exchange, and for all capital market participants, by providing a practical example of what it promotes through its tools and support.
The report highlights the concrete initiatives undertaken, the approach in line with international standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Lastly, it is significant to note that the voluntary approach to extra-financial disclosure is gaining ground in our Tunisian market ecosystem, which suggests that our regulations should be brought forward at a faster pace.
