Introduction

Co-organised by HKGFA, Our Hong Kong Foundation and CDP, the HKGFA Corporate Workstream will present a series of trainings this year on climate-related disclosures to support corporates' net-zero transition journey.

Date & Time

13 May 2024 (Monday) | 3pm- 5pm
In person participation only at Our Hong Kong Foundation Office, 19/F Nan Fung Tower, 88 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong

Event Synopsis:

In an era where the importance of climate accountability surpasses mere sustainability to emerge as a key financial concern for corporate entities, the HKGFA is set to organise a training session tailored to prepare listed companies for the forthcoming ISSB-aligned climate disclosure requirements mandated by HKEX. It will address the challenges related to enhancing disclosure capabilities and data accessibility, offering insightful and actionable strategies to effectively overcome these barriers. Given the upcoming enforcement of climate-related disclosure requirements by HKEX in early 2025, this training emerges as a crucial resource for companies striving to synchronize their reporting processes with the dynamic landscape of environmental accountability and regulatory compliance.
