HKEX Launches 'HKEX Green Equity' Designation for HK Listed Companies

HKEX launched 'HKEX Green Equity,' a voluntary designated program that helps investors identify Hong Kong-listed companies with significant green business activities. The program gives investors a transparent framework and an independent assessment process, and it aligns with globally recognized frameworks as part of HKEX's low-carbon transition ecosystem.

Independent Recognized Reviewers assess applicants against the HKEX Green Equity Framework, which measures how much a company's activities contribute to the green economy. Qualifying companies receive the designation and mark, subject to ongoing compliance and annual reassessments. Companies can begin to apply starting as soon as today.

HKEX Green Equity shows how exchanees can turn green credentials into a visible label, giving qualifying companies stronger exposure to global investors and a clearer way to stand out, while reinforcing Hong Kong's position as a sustainable finance hub.
