THE Singapore Exchange (SGX) is investing S$20 million to expand sustainability capabilities and initiatives as environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations come into greater focus even in the face of the pandemic.

Loh Boon Chye, chief executive officer of SGX, said in a media briefing on Tuesday that the challenge of driving economic growth and reversing climate change should be seen as an "undeniable need" and collective effort is required to seek solutions.
