A baseline study was conducted The findings were presented at the ASEAN Responsible Business Forum organised by ACN and the ASEAN Business Advisory Council (ASEAN-BAC). The Forum, which runs from 27 to 28 August 2018, aims to enhance understanding of how responsible and inclusive businesses can contribute to the realisation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ASEAN 2025 goals. Companies in the five countries consistently achieved the highest disclosure rates in areas such as commitment to comply with relevant laws and regulations in their country (94% in 2018) and applicability of the company s anticorruption policy to all its employees and directors (85 % in 2018).
