Agenda
HKEX recently announced new requirements on climate disclosure under the ESG Code, effective 1 Jan 2025. Based on the investor-focused ISSB standards, the requirements are extensive.
Concerted efforts across your company, right from the board to various teams beyond sustainability, are needed. The exercise also goes beyond compliance- what investors would like to know?
This intimate breakfast seminar is designed to facilitate your planning, including cross-team discussions. Practical sharing from various perspectives:
- Independent director perspectives: what the board and committees (audit, risks, sustainability) would discuss and ask, in discharging climate risks and opportunities “oversight” responsibilities (e.g. business strategy, risk management, climate target setting)
- Investors: what they want to know, including in reviewing companies’ “climate net zero” pledges
- Corporate reporting: practical tips at various stages of the climate/TCFD journey towards ISSB; challenges and solutions; including how to facilitate cross-team efforts
Practical! Actionable! Networking!
