SECP Issues New ESG Guidelines Aligned with Green Taxonomy

ISLAMABAD: SECP has unleashed revamped ESG Disclosure Guidelines for listed companies, locking them into the Pakistan Green Taxonomy (PGT) to supercharge sustainability reporting and drive Pakistan’s climate war, effective Wednesday. The new rules mirror national climate priorities and updated NDCs — emissions cuts, renewable surge, resilience. Corporates are now frontline soldiers in hitting Pakistan’s green targets. Companies must expose climate risks, opportunities, and PGT-aligned activity data — voluntary until June 2029, then mandatory phased rollout. SECP will train, educate, and hand-hold firms through the transition. Result: credible, comparable, investor-grade green data that fuels capital inflows and propels Pakistan into a greener, tougher economy.
