On October 20, HKEx announced the launch of a new voluntary “HKEx Green Equity” certification scheme to help investors more easily identify Hong Kong listed companies with a large share of green businesses. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange said that global investors are increasingly paying attention to the substantial contribution of enterprises to the green economy. “HKEx Green Equity” refers to the international recognition framework and will assist investors to identify qualified green enterprises through a transparent framework and independent evaluation. It is one of HKEx's important measures to promote the implementation of a low-carbon transition in the market. According to reports, “HKEx Green Equity” targets eligible companies that focus on green businesses and green investments. On the one hand, the certification mechanism will help market participants identify companies committed to promoting environmentally sustainable businesses and investments. On the other hand, it can also provide credible certification for these companies to demonstrate their contribution to the development of a green economy.
