A government department has won this year’s Sustainability Reporting award in Hong Kong.
The Architectural Services Department took the award jointly with the transport company MTR, which also won the main prize last year. CLP Holdings (utilities) and Swire Properties, both also commended last year, jointly won the environmental reporting award.
The number of entries for the third annual awards for sustainability reporting, run by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants in Hong Kong, was again low, with 14 companies taking part this year compared with ten last year. This compares with 54 entries in ACCA’s recent Malaysia reporting awards.
The Hong Kong judges complained that too many large companies in the territory have not converted their environmental reports into fully fledged sustainability reporting that covers social and economic impacts as well as green issues. They also said the general standard of social and environmental reporting in Hong Kong was ‘not … on a par with leading best practice’.
