ESG Reporting Seminar SeriesAlthough ESG Reporting is still a Recommended Best Practice, the HKEx has indicated its intention to raising this requirement to “comply or explain” level in 2015 or before, pending further market consultation. Listed companies are encouraged to have an early planning for this. In order to provide more guidance to members, the Chamber is going to host a series of seminars that deal with various aspects of the ESG Reporting Guide to explain more about the reporting requirements and how to go about collecting and compiling the relevant data.
Building an Anti-Corruption Framework from an In-house Perspective – A Roadmap from Risk to Resilience
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx) has indicated that they intend to raise the obligation level of the “Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) Reporting” to “comply or explain” by 2015. “Anti-corruption” is one of the aspects that falls under the subject area of “Operating Practices”. HKEx calls for a reporting of information on: (a) the policies; and (b) compliance and material non-compliance with relevant standards, rules and regulations, on bribery, extortion, fraud and money laundering.
The corresponding KPIs consist of: 1. Number of concluded legal cases regarding corrupt practices brought against the issuer or its employees
during the reporting period and the outcomes of the cases; and 2. Description of preventive measures and whistle-blowing procedures, how they are implemented and
monitored.
Although ESG reporting is subject to an assessment of relevancy and materiality, a number of relentless and reputation-damaging corruption scandals involving listed companies in recent years mandate the importance of an anti-corruption program. Come and learn from the experience of a former Asia Pacific Compliance Head of a multi-national corporation who had set up an anti-corruption framework from scratch in Hong Kong. He will share with you the following topics:
Applicable key laws How to assess corruption risks
Implementation of an anti-corruption program Challenges encountered in Greater China area
Real-life corruption cases
