Transition to a Green and Responsible Economy: Tunis Stock Exchange Teams Up with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation
In the framework of the transition to a green and responsible economy, the Tunis Stock Exchange, in partnership with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS), organized a series of meetings and workshops for listed companies focused on climate challenges and carbon‑footprint calculation methods.
The initiative aims to lay the foundations for sustainable governance and to strengthen economic transparency in line with international non‑financial reporting standards.
Training Programme Overview
The training programme was delivered in two phases:
| Phase | Date | Target Audience | Main Objective |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 27 January | Senior executives of listed companies | Define overall climate‑related orientations |
| Phase 2 | 10‑11 February | Sector‑specific workshops for the financial and industrial sectors | Adapt calculation and monitoring methods for greenhouse‑gas emissions to the specificities of each sector |
Why Carbon‑Footprint Calculation Matters
For the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, calculating the carbon footprint has become a strategic imperative for Tunisian companies. It enables them to fully integrate into the global economy and meet the ecological requirements of their commercial partners.
Benefits for Listed Companies
These trainings provide listed firms with practical tools to measure and evaluate their emissions, thereby:
- Boosting confidence among international investors
- Attracting responsible investments to the Tunisian financial market
- Enhancing overall transparency and sustainability reporting
By equipping companies with robust carbon‑accounting capabilities, the programme supports Tunisia’s broader goal of aligning with global climate standards and fostering a resilient, green economy.
