[GUIDE] “Award-winning reports – The board in action: navigating uncertainties” (Dec. 2023 ed.)

This has been a year of significant changes in the regulatory as well as macro environment,  impacting your forthcoming annual/sustainability reporting.

HKEX’s latest review analyses first- year reporting under the updated corporate governance Code. Improvement areas identified include culture, board gender diversity, re-election of long-serving directors and risk management.

For sustainability, the global ISSB standards, which are investor- focused, have been published. As we evolve to a more investor- based approach, what is the impact on “materiality” assessment and reporting? Many companies have announced “net zero” commitments. What investors would like to know?

Many award-winning companies have started reporting in these directions!

We also address the investor perspectives. Importantly, how are the above themes linked to business strategy?

We have analyzed over 30 award-winning HK and international annual/sustainability reports, identify key “best practice” features, and provide a range of examples to suit different companies and circumstances! 

 

What’s special

  • HKEX review of corporate governance disclosure
  • Board refreshment/diversity/risk management
  • “Double materiality”: investor-focused reporting
  • “Net zero” journey: what investors like to know
