In April 2023, FEAS introduced a new partnership with the Emerging Markets Investors Alliance (EMIA), offering FEAS members the opportunity for in-depth discussions regarding ESG demands from an investor's perspective.

Mr. Ashok Parameswaran, Founder and CEO of EMIA, led the discussion, shedding light on the ESG topic, its perspective from investors, and strategies for corporate organizations to stay aligned.

The presentation also touched upon the significance of investor engagement, ESG bonds, disclosures, targets, and how EMIA facilitates investor-company interactions on ESG issues. Claire Meier Underhill, Managing Director of Membership and Partnership, and Maria Tinedo, Program Director of Financials and TMT, contributed their insights on EMIA's perspectives and the involvement of institutional investors in EMIA's initiatives.

In collaboration with the Federation of Euro-Asian Stock Exchanges (FEAS), these experts facilitated an informative and engaging session during a FEAS Meets event. The topic of the session revolved around sustainability and was aptly titled, "Towards a More Sustainable Financial System: A Case Study for the RCSF."
