Stock investors will soon be able to track the performance of more Hong Kong-listed companies with a proven track record of environmental and social awareness, under plans by the Hang Seng Indexes Company.
The compiler is set to launch more indices made up of firms that show commitment to social governance and protecting the environment.
It will also add more gauges to its Hang Seng Stock Connect Greater Bay Area Index Series as progress to develop the future economic and business hub gathers momentum, said Daniel Wong, director and head of research and analytics at the Hang Seng Indexes Company.
“Sustainable investment has become more and more important in recent years. Many institutional investors focus on companies that perform strongly in terms of their efforts to combat climate changes and have good corporate governance,” Wong said.
