Qatar Stock Exchange is bringing a sustainable investment forum to the Middle East.

The regional forum is backed by eight participating countries in the region and sponsored by the Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE).

Investor demand for sustainable investment options is starting to drive environmental, social and governance (ESG) measurement and reporting across the region’s financial markets, says QSE CEO Rashid Al Mansouri.

The QSE says the Middle East Sustainable Investment Forum aligns with Qatar’s National Vision for 2030, to transform Qatar without “compromising the needs of future generations.”
