Prof. Christopher CHAO, PolyU’s Vice President (Research and Innovation) and PReCIT Director said in an op-ed in Ming Pao Daily News that most of the listed companies in Hong Kong failed to fully disclose their carbon emissions in their ESG reports.

Prof. CHAO suggested that the Government establishes auditing methods and guidelines for disclosing carbon emissions in the ESG reports for better assessing and achieving the goal of carbon neutrality.
