Aviva Investors has called on stock exchanges around the globe to more actively promote corporate responsibility and transparency among the companies that are listed on exchanges.
Speaking today at a major UN Conference* in New York – supported by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and entitled `Sustainable Stock Exchanges` – Aviva Investors London CEO Paul Abberley said that the conference hoped to galvanise concrete commitments from international stock exchanges and their listing authorities to work toward codifying how they could promote more responsible business.
Mr. Abberley said, “Our main focus is on promoting a global listing environment that requires companies to consider how responsible and sustainable their business model is, and also encourages them to put a forward-looking sustainability strategy to the vote at their AGM.”
