> the significance of the topic for stakeholders, based on an evaluation of Moscow Exchange’s impact on stakeholders’ activities;
> the availability of recommendations on disclosing such topics from leading associations, such as the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) and the Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) Initiative, which represent the interests of the professional community of stock exchanges.
