MSE & IFC Kick-Start ESG Reporting Training Ahead of October 2024 Mandate

On April 3, 2025, the Mongolian Stock Exchange (MSE), in collaboration with the Mongolian Sustainable Finance Association (ToS) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), held a training session for listed companies on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting. Although voluntary since 2022, ESG reporting will become mandatory from October 2024 for companies listed in the MSE's Category I. The training covered reporting methodologies, international best practices, and sustainability standards. As of April 3, 2025, 14 out of 26 Category I companies had submitted their ESG reports. The MSE is also working to distribute these reports to international investors via platforms such as Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters and is planning to develop a unified data platform.
