The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is now asking Hong Kong listed companies to issue annual Environmental, Social and Governance Reports (ESG Reports) as part of their reporting responsibilities. These new reports are in addition to the standard Annual Report and Corporate Governance Reports that listed companies are required to issue annually.
We have handled a number of these ESG Reports for clients recently, and find there is widespread uncertainty about the scope and purpose of an ESG Report among listed companies and agencies. In particular, companies who are used to focusing on financial performance and financial controls are often at a loss to understand what exactly they should be writing about in their ESG Report.
