NZX Corporate Governance Code, NZX Listing Rule and Guidance Note Amendments
NZX gives notice of amendments to the NZX Corporate Governance Code (Code), NZX Listing Rules
and NZX ESG Guidance Note. The amendments have been made following completion of the review of
the Code and ESG Guidance Note.
As a result of amendments to the Code, NZX also gives notice of conformance amendments to the NZX
Diversity Policies and Disclosure Guidance Note and NZX Governance Guidance Note.
These amendments will become effective on 1 April 2023 (noting the reporting timeframes for reporting
against the Code, which are described below).
Reporting against the Code
Equity issuers must report against the Code in accordance with Rule 3.8.1(a). This obligation does not
apply to debt only or fund only issuers.
In respect of financial years commencing on or after 1 April 2023, Issuers must report against the
amended Code, dated 1 April 2023.
In respect of financial years commencing before 1 April 2023, Issuers must either continue to report
against the previous version of the Code dated 17 June 2022, or elect to voluntarily report against the
amended 1 April 2023 Code. Issuers should clarify which version of the Code they are reporting against.
