Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) measures are no longer a mere matter of compliance, but are shaping the future of how business is conducted. The EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive, which requires companies to report how they manage social and environmental challenges, is already in place. However, most businesses in Hong Kong appear to be indifferent to the global shift towards sustainable development, which is inconsistent with the broader international community. Hong Kong business leaders have yet to respond to tightened regulations or changes in customer expectations.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, on the one hand, has forced corporations to scrutinize their societal responsibilities and roles in terms of social and environmental dimensions. The pandemic has also reinforced the redirection of capital by investors towards more sustainable companies and projects on the other hand. As expected, the inaction in pursuing sustainability will leave corporations uncompetitive and risky in the new landscape of ESG Governance and Net Zero Economy, and will be increasingly left behind by their competitors.
This Advanced Executive Diploma programme aims to equip senior executives with practical knowledge and strategies to pursue corporate competitive advantages by implementing effective and resilient business models, turning ESG and Carbon Neutrality into measurable actions with business results as well as meeting the expectation of the stakeholders, particularly customers, investors and regulators.
