The leading Credit Reporting Agency is included as a constituent of the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia (FTSE4GOOD) Index and FTSE4GOOD Bursa Malaysia Syariah (F4GBMS) Index.
To recap, the FTSE4GOOD Index measures the performance of public listed companies that demonstrate strong Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) practices against international benchmarks.
Whilst F4GBMS Index tracks constituents in the FTSE4GOOD Index that are shariah-compliant, in accordance with the Shariah Advisory Council’s screening methodology.
“We are delighted by this inclusion as it recognises our ongoing efforts to operate our business sustainably and ethically. CTOS Digital’s commitment towards sustainability is intertwined with our mission of empowering both individuals and businesses with the confidence to make sound credit decisions through access to data and insights at greater ease and speed, leading the community to better financial health,” Executive Director and Group Chief Executive Officer, Erick Hamburger said.
CTOS Digital was listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia in July 2021 and since then, has been continuously making disclosures on the progress of its ESG journey.
“Since our listing last year, we continued making steady headway and have recently disclosed our sustainability blueprint, roadmap and set various targets to steer our ESG advancement,” Erick added.
“We are proud to be the first credit reporting agency in Malaysia to receive an ESG rating from FTSE.”
“The admission into the FTSE4GOOD and F4GBMS Indexes reinforces that we are on the right track. We see ESG as a continuous journey and this recognition will further drive us to strive for greater positive impacts and long-term sustainability, which will, in turn, build higher shareholder value” he concluded.
