Alvin Tan on making tripartite standards part of SGX reporting by listed companies

The Singapore Exchange’s (SGX) disclosure requirements are intended to ensure that listed companies make available information on their performance, not to prescribe how the companies should be run. That is why companies adopt tripartite standards on a voluntary basis. Monetary Authority of Singapore Board Member Alvin Tan said this in Parliament on Wednesday (Feb 7) in reply to a question on whether the Government will consider working with SGX to define tripartite standards - such as the Tripartite Standard for Contracting with Self-Employed Persons - as part of listed firms’ sustainability reporting.
