HONG KONG
\nSAR –\u00a0<\/b>Media OutReach<\/b><\/a>\u00a0– 20 January 2022 – Ascent
\nPartners Group Limited is proud to announce today (Jan. 20, 2022) that it is
\nthe first sustainability advisory firm to roll out the game-changing, impact
\ncalculations methodology \u00c5land Index from Swedish Doconomy. The index calculates
\ncarbon footprint from consumption and will be launched in Hong Kong and
\nMainland China.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Simon Mak, Co-founder and CEO of Ascent Partners<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mathias Wikstr\u00f6m, CEO of Doconomy<\/p>\n

The \u00c5land Index was developed in 2016 and is taken to
\na broader market by Swedish impact tech pioneer Doconomy. This innovative, unique
\nCO2<\/sub> impact calculator instantly gained richly deserved recognition
\nby scooping the Grand Prix in the Cyber category at the 2017 Cannes Lions International
\nFestival of Creativity.<\/p>\n

Among its admired features, its practical, worldwide
\napplication has been immediately demonstrated. As of today, Doconomy is in partnerships
\nwith more than 25 banks and financial institutions representing over 500 million
\nusers. The Doconomy partnerships spans the world and contains a variety of
\ninstitutions as United Nations, Mastercard, WWF, to mention a few.<\/p>\n

“Covid-19 inspires change in consumers’ sustainable
\nbehaviour. Moreover, environmental concerns keep rising steeply. More and more
\npeople around the world are willing to consume with less of a carbon footprint.
\nHence, we are honoured to be the first sustainability advisory firm authorized
\nby Doconomy to introduce the \u00c5land Index to Hong Kong and Mainland China. We
\nbelieve that this Index can be applied to a variety of financial institutions
\nwith payment systems, as it uses a merchant code of the payment system to
\nquantify the carbon footprint”,<\/i> said Simon Mak, Co-founder and
\nCEO of Ascent Partners and also the former CEO of Friends of the Earth (HK).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

”Ascent Partners has an environment-focused DNA. My
\npartners and I have acquired extensive and solid environmental backgrounds and work
\nexperiences. The ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) mindset serves as
\nour company’s guiding principle. With the Doconomy \u00c5land Index, we can educate
\nour clients to discover how every single one of their purchasing decisions can make
\na positive impact on the climate, help to change the world, and save the planet.”<\/i>
\nsaid Simon Mak.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mathias Wikstr\u00f6m, CEO of Doconomy, said: “Reducing
\nthe climate crisis cannot be achieved by one single person or company alone. It
\nmust be a mission undertaken by everyone and every company around the world.
\nDoconomy has been committed to finding like-minded partners. As of today,
\ncompanies representing more than 500 million users are collaborating with Doconomy\u00a0<\/i>to enable individuals to start to understand
\ntheir behaviours’ climate impact. We see great potential in Hong Kong and
\nMainland China and we are grateful to be in partnership with the Ascent
\nPartners, which allows Doconomy and \u00c5land Index to broaden our reach here and
\ntogether we can contribute more to carbon reduction.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Ascent Partners, a trusted corporate valuation and
\nadvisory firm with offices in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Singapore, serves more
\nthan 400 leading corporate clients (such as AIA and BOC) including more than 50
\nlisted companies on ESG reporting.<\/p>\n
