HKEx’s success as an exchange controller and a listed issuer is largely based upon the support of its stakeholders.  Therefore, we strive to develop and maintain participative, collaborative and informative engagement with our stakeholders that is integrated into our business development and daily operations.  We adopt a systematic process which involves identifying our stakeholders, prioritising them by strategic importance, issue and category, and determining the appropriate engagement approach based on our engagement objectives and their level of interest and influence.  The process and results of our stakeholder engagement are recorded, reviewed and reported publicly where appropriate, for accountability and transparency purposes.

Our engagement activities take on many forms, both formal and informal, ranging from public consultations on major market initiatives, monthly meetings with market regulators, and seminars and workshops for industry associations and investors, to interactive communication channels between employees and management.  With these on-going dialogues, our understanding of our stakeholders’ views and expectations is enhanced, enabling us to make more informed decisions, and to better assess and manage the resulting impact.
