100% compliance percentage for companies in submitting their annual sustainability report for 2025 within the specified period

Mr. Mazen Wathaifi Chief Executive Officer of Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) said that 100% of the listed companies which are obligated to submit their annual sustainability report for the year 2025, totaling 22 companies, have provided the ASE with the report within the specified period mentioned in the rules issued by the ASE, through the e- disclosure system XBRL. This high percentage reflects the compliance of these companies with laws and regulations, as well as their concern for environmental, social and governance (ESG (issues.

Mr. Wathaifi clarified that in accordance with the sustainability reporting rules, the companies included in the ASE20 index sample, as well as any company that was part of the mentioned index sample, are required to provide their sustainability report in accordance with the GRI standards, within six months from the end of its fiscal year if it is stand-alone report, or within three months of the end date of its fiscal year if the company incorporated the sustainability report with its annual report.

Al-Wazaifi also noted that both GULF INSURANCE GROUP - JORDAN compay and FIRST INSURANCE Company, voluntarily published their 2025 Sustainability Reports for the first time in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, despite not being included in the ASE20 index sample. This reflects the growing culture of sustainability and non-financial disclosure in the Jordanian capital market and demonstrates the advanced level of companies’ awareness regarding the importance of disclosing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.

Wathaifi added that the ASE posts the sustainability reports on the ASE website www.exchange.jo under Circulars and Disclosures/sustainability reports window. He also indicated that obligating the listed companies in the ASE20 index sample since 2022 to issue a sustainability report came to enhance the attractiveness of listed companies, and to increase transparency and disclosure in the national capital market, especially with regard to compliance with sustainability standards, whereas sustainability report helps increase knowledge on companies' performance and achievements at all levels and it indicates the company's commitment and interest in environmental, social responsibility and governance issues, in light of the increasing interest in this information by local and foreign investors due to its importance in making investment decisions.
