The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) today announced its strategic framework to contribute to the development of green finance in Hong Kong.
A priority will be to enhance listed companies’ consistent and comparable disclosure of environmental information, with an emphasis on climate-related risks and opportunities. The SFC will also work on ways in which asset managers make clear to investors how and to what extent they factor environmental criteria into their investment processes and risk assessments. These initiatives will complement and build onto existing initiatives to promote green bonds.
