Cyberjaya, 16 December 2025 – Dagang NeXchange Berhad (“DNeX” or “the Group”) has been successfully included in both the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia (“F4GBM”) Index and the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Shariah (“F4GBMS”) Index, effective 22 December 2025. This dual inclusion marks a significant milestone in the Group’s sustainability journey and serves as a strong external endorsement of its Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) practices.
The inclusion follows the strategic establishment of a dedicated Group Sustainability Unit in 2021 and builds on prior recognition, including The Edge Malaysia ESG Silver Award for Most Improved Performance in 2022.
“Our inclusion in these respected indices is a powerful validation of our strategic commitment to ESG throughout the Group,” said Mathias Varming, Head of Group Risk and Sustainability Management at DNeX. “It transforms our sustainability roadmap from an internal plan into a globally recognised benchmark. This will act as a catalyst to accelerate our initiatives and enhance long-term value creation for all stakeholders.”
The dual indices inclusion delivers immediate strategic advantages to the Group:
- Enhanced Market Profile: Increases DNeX’s visibility to global investors seeking responsibly managed companies.
- Access to ESG Capital: Positions DNeX to attract investment from the growing pool of ESG-focused funds, which manage an estimated USD 3.7 trillion in assets globally.
- Broader Investor Base: Ensures automatic inclusion in funds that track the F4GBM and F4GBMS indices, promoting greater liquidity and a more diverse shareholder register.
DNeX remains committed to advancing its sustainability agenda, using the FTSE4Good framework as a guide for continuous improvement in corporate performance and stewardship.
