Hong Kong – Enhanced Corporate Governance And ESG Among Listed Companies And IPO Applicants Expected To Be Launched From 2022 预计于2022年起实施强化上市公司及申请人的企业管治和ESG.

In April 2021, the Stock Exchange published a consultation paper, proposing to revise the Corporate Governance Code and relating Listing Rules to promote good corporate governance of the listed issuers. The proposal covers, among others, culture of issuers, independence of directors, board (gender) diversity and ESG. 

香港联交所于2021年4月就修订《企业管治守则》及相关《上市规则》的建议刊发了咨询文件，以促进上市发行人的良好企业管治。有关建议内容包括上市发行人的企业文化、董事会独立性、董事会成员（性别）多元化及环境、社会及管治等。

The consultation period ended on 18 June 2021. Subject to responses to the consultation, the proposals to the Listing Rules and CG Code are intended to be implemented on or after 1 January 2022, except for those on long serving INEDs, which are expected to come into effect for financial year commencing on or after 1 January 2023.

上述咨询期於 2021年6月18日结束。视乎这次咨询的回应意见，若最后落实各项建议，修订后的《上市规则》及《企业管治守则》拟於2022年1月1日或之后正式实施生效。惟有关连任多年独董的建议将预期由2023年1月1日或之后开始的财政年度生效。
