InvestHK supports 2021 Hong Kong ESG Reporting Awards
HERA 2021 now has support of yet another important institution in Hong Kong, InvestHK which is responsible for promoting Hong Kong among overseas investors. It is a sponsor and one of the supporting organisations. This sponsorship represents values shared by the two organisations and their resolve to promote ESG and decarbonisation in Hong Kong and achieve Hong Kong’s Carbon Neutral 2050 target. With InvestHK’s vision to strengthen Hong Kong’s status as the premier international business hub in Asia, keeping up with the current global move toward a sustainable and greener business environment is inevitably one of the key focuses.
Tony Wong, Director of Hong Kong ESG Reporting Limited, stated: “I am excited to have InvestHK as a sponsor and supporting organisation for HERA 2021. Its involvement testifies Hong Kong’s efforts at accelerating its sustainability agenda and bolstering companies to pursue sustainable business practices.”
In its fourth year, 2021 HERA has a few exciting developments. The overwhelming response so far shows huge support from corporates in different industries. There will be a congratulatory message from Nasdaq, HERA’s long-time supporting organisation, featuring logos of HERA Grand Award winners. This move is expected to add tremendous visibility to HERA, the winning organizations, and the participating companies, showcasing to the industry’s recognition of the awards as the most prestigious ESG reporting awards in Greater China region.
Last but not the least, in response to global actions for achieving carbon neutrality, the 2021 HERA will include a new award category, Carbon Neutral Award. The other two new categories are namely Newcomer Award and Outstanding ESG Improvement Award, encouraging companies to pursue improved ESG practices.
