KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 30
June 2021 – The results of ESG
Achievement Awards 2020 were announced and presented at the inaugural awards
ceremony today (29 June 2021) at the Hong Kong Productivity Council. The Awards
recognises Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) achievements in all
industry sectors through 36 companies and 2 individuals.
The ESG Achievement Awards was founded by the Institute
of ESG & Benchmark (IESGB) in year 2020 and with the support from Hang
Seng Indexes Company Limited as Honoary Supporting Organization. It aims to
recognise local companies for their progress in ESG and serve a larger focus to
garner all of the best ESG practitioners to set Hong Kong’s sustainability
development benchmark across several industries.
Mr Paul Pong, Co-Founder of IESGB,
states “the Awards is an answer to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s requirement for
a listed company’s ESG disclosure. And while this is a great step to the right
direction, Hong Kong needs to catch up with and surpass its Western
counterparts by building awareness, education and building a benchmark of best
ESG-related practices”.
Mr Joseph H. L. CHAN, JP, Under Secretary for
Financial Services and the Treasury joined the award presentation ceremony as
guest of honour, accompanied by Dr CHAN Pak Li, Bernard, JP, Under Secretary
for Commerce and Economic Development as officiating guest. Mr Joseph H. L.
CHAN, JP, states, “ESG is indeed one of the current Administration’s key
policy priorities, and we have rolled out a series of measures to develop ESG
in Hong Kong”.
The Awards sees companies within the developer and construction
industry to be the most advanced in their sustainable development. Few Hong
Kong’s most prominent developers won the Diamond and Winner Awards trophies,
including Henderson Land Development Company Limited, New World Development
Limited, Sino Group and Chinachem Group. The award acknowledged their
achievement as the ESG Leader and
Outstanding Performer. Mr Pong continues, “to adopt the ESG practice is more
than saving paper and electricity in your daily life.
We are looking forward the companies to adopting the
ESG practice in their business nature.”
The awards categorises its winners from listed
companies, privately owned companies, NGOs, and SMEs. And it boasts a
comprehensive line-up of jurors from varying industries, with Head Juror, Mr
Vincent Pang, Managing Director of AVISTA Group taking the lead.
