eNewsletter - July 2021

As revisions to the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Reporting Guide issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK) became effective for financial years commencing on or after 1st July 2020, Hong Kong listed companies started disclosing more non-financial information to their stakeholders.

Over recent years, a growing number of investors have been looking for and incorporating data related to climate change in their decision-making process, a trend that in Hong Kong has been spreading from institutional investors to family offices. Funds with an ESG-themed mandate that adopt an ESG equities index as benchmark of a passive portfolio are rising in the investment market. Investors are increasingly considering these non-financial factors as part of their analysis to identify material risks and growth opportunities, and evaluate companies in which they might want to invest.

To facilitate the provision of climate change disclosures (Aspect A4 of the revised SEHK ESG Reporting Guide), a brand-new survey module is added to iESG, our locally-developed ESG data management tool. By completing the climate risk assessment survey and reviewing the system-generated report, users can better understand and gain insights into their company’s climate-related risks and opportunities based on the TCFD framework.

CUSTOMER STORY

Cargo service provider AIC Asia automated business flows by MVDP

Founded in 1899 and headquartered at the United States, AIC Asia has started to develop its service network in Hong Kong since 2005. The company has provided logistics services for clients on the Sino-US trade, which is in the highest demand among toys manufacturers. Since the establishment of AIC Asia’s Hong Kong office, it has been using NCR printers, the dominating printer in the logistics industry, to cater the tremendous demand in printing, just like other logistics enterprises.

However, it has been causing operational disruptions. Printing quality could also be greatly affected by slight misplacement of papers and technical errors like pen failure, leading to blurred contents on the second and third layers of the printouts, thus fatally affecting customs clearance and administrative works.
