AIDS guidelines for future JSE companies

    JOHANNESBURG

    Africa's largest stock exchange on Thursday encouraged its 462 listed companies to include HIV/AIDS work plans in their annual corporate reporting.

    The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) said that "the financial well being of a company is directly related to the health of its work force".

    JSE president, Russell Loubser, told the UN news service PlusNews that corporate reports which list treatment plans would not only benefit shareholders, but would lay down guidelines for companies to follow in the future.
