The SFC organized its first Forum on Sustainability Disclosures to gather market perspectives on establishing a sustainability disclosure framework in Hong Kong and to enhance industry readiness and awareness of sustainable reporting in line with global standards. The forum emphasized the benefits and challenges of adopting international sustainability reporting and assurance standards, focusing on ISSB-aligned disclosures to seize fundraising opportunities. Key speakers highlighted the significance of public-private partnerships, technology utilization, and the need for aligning Hong Kong’s sustainability-related disclosures with global standards. The event was attended by over 200 leaders from the financial industry, listed companies, industry associations, and policymakers from the region.
