RTHK: SMEs urged to boost their awareness of ESG"

Updated at : 13/06/2025 06:09

The Hong Kong Productivity Council on Wednesday said small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need to be more aware of the environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards used to evaluate a company's sustainability.

The council's chief technology officer, Dr Lawrence Cheung, said some SMEs neglect the social and governance aspects of ESG.

"Even for the environmental side, a lot of them may not know what kind of standards are available around internationally," he said.

"So a lot of them may just feel that they can just put some simple environmental measures and that would achieve a certain level of ESG."

Cheung said the council will hold personnel training courses as most SMEs lack the expertise to introduce ESG measures.

"Particularly a lot of exporters which are SMEs, more and more their buyers are demanding some sort of ESG elements in their operations," he said.

A new AI tool will also be introduced to help SMEs assess their ESG measures and compare their efforts with others in the industry.

"If they have some ESG elements particularly on the governance side, it actually gives them a lot more confidence in the eyes of investors, customers as well as the buyers," Cheung said.

自1970年代起,香港擁有優越地理位置及多聯式交通運輸網絡,作為全球重要的轉口貿易樞紐,長期以來憑藉高效的物流體系和自由港優勢,成為國際供應鏈的關鍵節點。然而,隨著歐盟、美國等市場的ESG(環境、社會、公司治理)法規趨嚴,香港的港口與物流業正面臨新的挑戰與轉型壓力。供應鏈企業需要重新尋求新的合作伙伴,供應鏈企業亦需要在內部制定新的政策及加強員工培訓,以迎接新的貿易挑戰及抓緊市場未來新的契機。否則,供應鏈企業將會面臨淘汰。

內地正式迎來ESG強制披露時代  香港中小企把握ESG機遇搶先「登陸」

內地正快速建立全面的可持續發展報告披露體系。在證監會指導下,滬深北三大交易所於2024年4月12日聯合發佈《上市公司可持續發展報告指引》(《指引》)。根據《指引》,特定上市公司需於2026年首次披露2025年度《可持續發展報告》。該《指引》標誌著內地資本市場正式邁入ESG強制披露時代,此舉不僅對大型上市公司提出更高合規要求,更將推動其上下游供應鏈全面升級。香港中小企作為供應鏈中的關鍵角色,可乘勢迎接全新機遇。憑藉香港在ESG資訊披露和監管方面的先發優勢,加上與內地語境具有高度的相似性,香港中小企可借鑑上市公司可持續發展報告及相關指引完善自身ESG措施,在上下游供應鏈合作中搶佔先機,實現可持續發展及市場拓展的雙贏局面,搶先「登陸」內地市場。
