Our Priorities

Capital markets play an important role in the global sustainability agenda – from enhancing ESG standards and transparency, to connecting capital with sustainability opportunities. As a market regulator and an exchange operator, we facilitate the sustainable finance ecosystem by driving new rules and standards, product development, education and advocacy.

Climate change is a pressing global issue that requires our collective action. At HKEX, we strive to be an exemplar of contributing to the global net-zero economy. Underpinned by our 2040 net-zero goal, we are enhancing climate resilience and mitigation by decarbonising our operations and engaging with our value-chain partners.

Investing in people and communities contributes to long-term societal stability. At HKEX, we recognise that our success is closely tied to that of our people and community. We are committed to uplifting both by investing in talent development and well-being, promoting diversity and inclusion, and giving back to the community.

Responsible business practices are fundamental to building trust and confidence. As a critical financial market infrastructure, our businesses and operations are the backbone of Hong Kong’s financial system. We reinforce the highest standard of integrity and professionalism and promote sustainable business practices in our operations and beyond.
