經濟日報:ESG|中小企面臨4大痛點 生產力局提「企業ESG發展6式」助解困

經濟日報:ESG|中小企面臨4大痛點 生產力局提「企業ESG發展6式」助解困

13/06/2025 03:54

ESG(環境、社會及管治)依然是目前企業相當看重的一環,但對於資源有限的中小企來說,要做好仍有一定難度。香港生產力促進局(生產力局)最新亦指出,發現仍有不少中小企缺乏專業知識、不熟悉ESG概念,甚至不理解國際標準要求。

生產力局於2024年1月推出「ESG一站通」(ESG One),為中小企提供免費ESG線上自我評估、績效卡報告、ESG專家分析、專業諮詢、技術支援及資源共享,助企業應對可持續發展挑戰,實現綠色轉型及提升品牌價值。機構就從中發現,現時香港中小企在推動ESG方面,仍有不少痛點需要面對,包括:

1)缺乏專業知識、科技與資源,不熟悉ESG概念,加上ESG規範持續更新,難以理解國際標準如GRI、ISO 14064、SBTi、ISSB等要求;同時缺乏科技專才或方案,規劃以機械、自動化設備及人工智能等改善企業ESG表現。

2)數據收集與報告困難:規劃ESG需要大量數據支持,如碳排放、回收量、供應鏈、網絡安全等數據,中小企缺乏系統性記錄與分析能力。但缺乏第三方審核經驗,難以製作具公信力的報告。

3)資金與成本壓力:ESG轉型涉及基本投資,例如節能設備、顧問服務或報告審核等,對資源有限的中小企構成壓力。雖然有政府資助計劃,但未能善用或不熟悉申請流程。

4)市場認知與曝光不足:即使中小企已積極實踐ESG,卻缺乏有效平台向市場展示成果,難以轉化為品牌價值或商業機會。

所以,生產力局便向企業提出「ESG發展6式」,由「知識」、「技術」、「資助」、及「人才」層面,協助企業「規劃」、「實踐」及「優化」ESG表現:

  • ESG評估與藍圖規劃:透過ESG One的線上自我評估及專家評核報告,企業可識別優勢與改善空間,制定針對性的ESG策略。
  • 網絡信任與管治:提供網絡安全諮詢與解決方案,幫助企業強化風險管理及提升治理能力。
  • 專業ESG諮詢:依據國際標準(如 GRI、ISO 14064、SBTi 等),由專家提供碳/能源管理及可持續發展規劃指導。
  • 綠色科技探索:結合「資源循環技術研究中心」,支持企業研發創新且具成本效益的環保技術,協助產品商品化。
  • 資助計劃:鼓勵中小企申請及善用政府資助,如「回收基金」及 「發展品牌、升級轉型及拓展內銷市場的專項基金」 等,提供免費的「一對一諮詢」服務,助力業務升級轉型、應用智慧科技方案提高競 爭力,優化企業可持續發展,提升新質生產力。
  • 人才培訓與商務機遇:聯繫商會及專家資源,提供最新的可持續發展趨勢與知識,並舉辦推廣活動促進跨界合作。

同時,生產力局也宣布成立全新「資源循環技術研究中心」,專注轉廢為材、節能減碳、研發綠色材料等領域,配合ESG One平台支援企業可持續發展,為中小企提供解決方案,推動香港企業發展ESG。
