HKPC Releases 2023-2024 "Environmental, Social, and Governance Report "Championing Green Innovation for Circular Economy to Build a Sustainable Eco-system

(Hong Kong, 24 April 2025) The Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) is delighted to present its newest 2023-2024 “Environmental, Social, and Governance Report”. The report comprehensively reviews HKPC’s solid achievements in the four key areas as of March 31, 2024 - corporate sustainability governance, promoting environmental sustainability, driving industry and community advancement, and prioritising employee well-being. It demonstrated HKPC’s proactive response to the country’s policies and HKSAR Government’s strategic directives, aimed at promoting the commercialisation of green technologies, and accelerating Hong Kong’s development as a green finance and technology hub and an international innovation and technology (I&T) centre. Additionally, it reaffirmed HKPC’s commitment to driving the country’s sustainable high-quality socio-economic development.

Hon Sunny TAN, Chairman of the Hong Kong Productivity Council stated that, “The National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Annual Sessions 2024 emphasised the need to vigorously develop a green and low-carbon economy, and promote carbon reduction and pollution control. The HKSAR Government also stressed in its policy the necessity to promote and fund the development of green technology while advancing the circular economy. In advancing environmental sustainability, HKPC is fully aligned with the HKSAR Government’s policies. We actively support the carbon neutrality vision outlined in Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2050 and contribute to the collaboration of green industries in Hong Kong and the Mainland through innovative decarbonisation technologies. During the reporting period, we intensified our climate-related initiatives in response to the escalating global climate change crisis. HKPC has proactively conducted a comprehensive climate risk assessment to understand and mitigate the impacts of climate change on our operations. Furthermore, we have established a robust governance structure for addressing climate change and developed an extensive mitigation plan. In view of the uncertainties in the global economy, geopolitical fluctuations, and the complexities of the international market, HKPC will continue to play its leading role in the field of sustainability, create a broader ESG ecosystem, and provide all-around support to enterprises in Hong Kong and the Mainland in their efforts to ‘Go Global’.”

HKPC’s commitment to advancing ESG development has been widely recognised, including the “ESG Leading Enterprise Award 2023” presented by The Hong Kong General Chamber of Small and Medium Business (HKGCSMB). Moving forward, HKPC will remain steadfast in advancing ESG as our strategic cornerstone, enhancing the development of new industrialisation with technological innovation. Through pioneering sustainable ESG frameworks, we are committed to being the catalytic force for Hong Kong’s and the country’s sustainable high-quality development.
