In the light of the increasing focus on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting in the business community, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx) helped equip listed companies with practical tools necessary for reporting through a half-day introductory training seminar and a full-day workshop that was based on a draft ESG Reporting Guide^(note) and held at several different times between May and July 2011.

Note:

HKEx published a Consultation Paper on ESG Reporting Guide on 9 December 2011. The deadline for replies to the Consultation Paper is 9 April 2012. Subject to comments received, HKEx proposes to finalise the Guide. The final version will outline recommended best practices. The long-term vision is to upgrade the reporting requirements to “comply or explain”, which is similar to the arrangement for the Code on Corporate Governance Practices.
