This month’s journal reviews the first two sessions of our Institute’s new ESG Reporting Certification Course (the Course) that got underway in February this year. As our Chief Executive, Ellie Pang FCG HKFCG(PE), points out in this month’s first cover story, ESG talent is scarce and much in demand in Hong Kong as organisations try to get up to speed with the everexpanding regulatory requirements – not to mention stakeholder expectations – in this area.
CGj reviews the Institute’s latest research paper, published in collaboration with Ben McQuhae & Co, highlighting directors’ duties to take into account environmental, social and governance (ESG) developments for sustainable business operations.
Frank Bi, Melody He and Li Jiang, Partners, Ashurst, summarise the Exchange’s recent analysis of 400 listed companies’ ESG reports and provide a clear overview of the most pertinent recommendations made in relation to ESG disclosure and reporting.
