CCA co-organized ESG Reporting seminar with European Chamber of Commerce and HKEx (17/10/2014)

Carbon Care Asia (CCA) is delighted to have co-organized a seminar entitled “ESG Reporting is Good for Business – a Focus on Supply Chain” with the Environmental Business Council of The European Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd (HKEx) on 17 Oct, 2014. The event, also supported by the European Union Office to Hong Kong and Macau, was well-attended by over 150 guests from listed companies, senior management of various business sectors and environment professionals.

Ir Albert Lai, CEO of CCA, gave a presentation on “Smart Planning for ESG Reporting”, to help corporate leaders achieve a smart compliance with ESG reporting guidelines and to encourage them to embark on sustainable innovations. In another presentation “The EU’s Experience in ESG Reporting”, Mr Vincent Picket, Head of Office, the European Union Office to Hong Kong and Macau, shared the experience of best practices in Europe with the audience and pointed out that it can be a framework reference for ESG reporting in Hong Kong.

The seminar saw positive feedback and great interaction from the audience. It certainly has helped encourage parallel developments in both Europe and Hong Kong on ESG reporting. HKEx has published a new guideline on Environment, Social and Governance reporting. Although ESG reporting is still a recommended best practice at present, listed companies in Hong Kong are expected to ‘comply or explain’ their status of compliance starting from 2015.
