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」

03/03/2025 03:20

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。
