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。
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.

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:

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。

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。
