HONG KONG SAR –
\nMedia OutReach Newswire<\/a> – 24 April 2024 –
\n
\n The Institute of ESG & Benchmark (IESGB) proudly announces the fourth edition of the
\nESG Achievement Awards 2023\/2024.<\/b> The awards, returning for its fourth year, continues to honour innovative initiatives that empower businesses and communities to flourish through creativity, conscious enterprise, and commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. The Early Bird application period is open until 24 May 2024 and all nominations are open until 24 June 2024.<\/p>\n

This year’s awards, announced under the theme,
\n“Driving Positive Change: Innovations in Sustainable Practices and Responsible Risk Management”<\/b>, highlights the growing focus of today’s business leaders on assessing the diverse impact of various issues on financial performance, corporate reputation, risk exposure, and business value. In the dynamic business landscape of Hong Kong, leaders are recognising that sustainability encompasses a broad range of concerns, from human rights to climate-related issues. This recognition has spurred constant drives towards talent development and the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI). According to IESGB, organisations embracing environmental and social risks with innovative thinking, curiosity, strategic insight, and valuing diverse stakeholders’ perspectives, are best prepared to face the challenges posed by ESG development.\n<\/p>\n

“We understand the fundamental role of sustainable practices and responsible risk management in shaping Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area’s future. The government’s growing emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations is not only commendable but also essential,” said
\nMr Paul Pong, Co-Founder of IESGB.<\/b> “The challenges we face, from climate change to social inequalities, are significant, but they present opportunities for innovation and transformation. Through the awards, we strive to provide a platform where organisations can work towards positive change and pave the way for a more sustainable Hong Kong and Greater Bay Area.”\n<\/p>\n

The award categories underscore a company’s leadership in ESG, demonstrated through their comprehensive reporting, efficient operations, and creative strategies for sustainable development. A panel of highly respected jurors will select the winners for recognition at the Awards Ceremony Luncheon, tentatively scheduled for September 2024.\n<\/p>\n

“This year’s awards theme speaks profoundly to the critical juncture we find ourselves in, celebrating the resilience, innovation, and commitment of our industry leaders even amidst constant challenges. said
\nMr Vincent Pang, Chairman of the awards’ jury panel<\/b>. “Each application we receive is a testament to the incredible efforts being put forth by organisations to shape a more sustainable Hong Kong and Greater Bay Area. I look forward to witnessing the transformative ideas and groundbreaking initiatives that will undoubtedly be submitted for this year’s awards.”\n<\/p>\n

IESGB is a non-profit organisation founded in 2020 with a mission to promote ESG practices in Hong Kong and beyond, facilitate ESG education, incubate Certified ESG Professionals (CESGP\u00ae), and encourage a balance between commercial and non-commercial organizations. Ultimately, IESGB hopes to co-create a better ESG ecosystem in Hong Kong\n<\/p>\n
