Sustainable Finance
Sustainable financing plays a significant role in the construction of a resilient society. In response to the unveiling of Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2050, we are developing a roadmap to contribute to carbon neutrality, leveraging sustainable finance as a critical component to drive our action. By end of 2023, the Group had arranged HK$3,600 million sustainability-linked loans to support the Group’s ambition in sustainability. The Group will continue exploring other sustainable financing opportunities to support ESG performance.
Sustainable Finance Framework
To govern all our sustainable finance transactions, including both use-of-proceeds transactions and sustainability-linked transactions, we adopted the Sustainable Finance Framework (the “Framework”), which aligns with market standards and best practices. The Framework describes how we intend to enter into sustainable finance transactions to support implementation of our vision and mission for sustainability, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
