These are aimed at maintaining the city’s competitive edge, ensuring a sustainable tax system, rolling out relief measures to help businesses and citizens ride through these challenging times, and helping Hong Kong achieve the goal of carbon neutrality.

The Institute has joined 13 other accounting bodies, all members of The Prince of Wales’s Accounting for Sustainability Project Accounting Bodies Network, in publicly committing to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions within their own organizations, as well as provide an enabling environment for their membership to do the same.

As part of our net zero efforts, a new ESG Information Centre is now available to provide members with regular updates on the latest market development and thought leadership. The Institute has also appointed a Sustainability Lead and formed a task force to develop our net zero pathway going forward. Stay tuned for our further support and development on ESG matters.
