Theme 2: COP21 and a Hong Kong Agenda

The views on what direction Hong Kong should take may differ widely among government, the business sector and civil society. Observe the debate between opinion leaders and form your own viewpoints on Hong Kong’s possible roles and responsibilities in confronting cliamte change.
Theme 3: ESG Reporting and Carbon Management
Listed companies are arguably the most resourceful sector among key stakeholders.

Companies often find it challenging to embark on ESG reporting and carbon management, especially when operating across different jurisdictions, regulatory regimes and cultures. Find out what these experts have to say in smart reporting and clear your doubts- stakeholder engagement, materiality assessment, carbon footprinting and more.
