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。
(大公文匯全媒體記者 葉紫翎 報道)香港生產力促進局(生產力局)於2024年1月推出「ESG一站通」(ESG One)平台,響應特區政府2050年碳中和目標,為中小企業提供可持續發展解決方案。與此同時,生產力局全新成立的「資源循環技術研究中心」,與「ESG一站通」雙軌並行,攜手業界打造ESG生態圈,推動香港經濟的低碳發展。
生產力局首席技術總監張梓昌今日(11日)表示,平台推出半年已吸引逾1200間企業,其中中小企佔比高達95%,並獲約190間機構支持。
張梓昌分析指出,經過一段時間的運作,發現中小企缺乏專業知識不熟悉ESG概念,部分亦不理解國際標要求。他又指,有企業缺乏内部專才或團隊規劃策略,未能夠善用科技提升ESG表現,亦有中小企在數收集和資金方面有困難。
對此,他提出六點以全方位支持中小企的ESG轉型。六大核心支柱分別為ESG評估與藍圖規劃、數位信任與管治、專業ESG諮詢、綠色科技探索、資助計劃及人才培訓與商務機遇。
生產力局綠色生活與創新部總經理蔡劍虹進一步分享平台數據指出,在約1200間參與自我評估的中小企中,橫跨18個行業的企業於「商業道德」、「勞工權益」及「客戶責任」三大範疇表現突出。
其中,「商業道德」中有超93%企業制定反貪腐政策,77%建立舉報人保護機制;「勞工實踐」中有91%企業設有勞動保障政策,84%提供基本員工醫療支援;「客戶責任」中亦有95%建立投訴處理系統,82%實施透明產品保固條款。
生產力局今年在「ESG一站通」平台下成立了「資源循環技術研究中心」,設有「綠色材料開發實驗室」和「循環創新實驗室」。該中心專注於材料創新及循環技術的開發,旨在推動環境保護和循環經濟,為業界提供技術支援,協助實踐ESG目標。與此同時,生產力局預計在今年第三季度將引入AI技術,為企業新增「ESG AI基準分析工具」,幫助企業更好地收集、管理和比較ESG數據及表現。
中心將為企業提供綠色餐具測試服務,分析餐具的主要成分,確保即棄餐具符合法律要求。此外,中心還研發了氫燃料電池汽車的熱管理系統及新型儲能材料,並研發了提取電動車電池中高純度金屬的技術,使本港具備再造新電池的能力。
