Additional recommendations from the review included ensuring that issuer ESG reports provide information on supply chain risk management and green procurement practices, and that ESG reports and annual reports are published at the same time. The exchange also added that monitoring progress against ESG targets is key to boards' evaluation of the effectiveness of measures taken, and that disclosure of information on the board's progress review, and the results of the review, are required under the ESG Rules. Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) Head of Listing, Bonnie Y Chan, said: "Sitting at the heart of Asia's capital markets, HKEX is well positioned to help drive the broad sustainability agenda across our markets. We are committed to promoting high standards of ESG practice and disclosure amongst our issuer community, through listing regulation, advocacy and education."
