GreenCo Recommended ESG Measures for Companies Going Public (IPO)

HONG KONG,Aug. 27,2021 -- GreenCo,as one of the first batch enterprises providing ESG reporting and advisory services in Hong Kong,has recently launched a brand-new ESG advisory package for companies planning an IPO,in which GreenCo supports all IPO applicants looking for compliance and excellence in ESG management with recommended planning and preparation measures.

In July 2020,the HKEx mandated the integration of sound corporate governance and ESG policies into the IPO process in its IPO guidance letter. Together with many other guidance materials,the HKEx is currently promoting companies to start building a compliance-oriented and purpose-led ESG mechanism ahead of listing. During IPO preparation,GreenCo's ESG expertise and experience can add value on establishing internal ESG system,streamline management strategy and beyond IPO process,facilitate continuous improvement in line with global sustainability.

Pre-IPO Planning

Regarded as the primary stewards of risk and guardians of long-term enterprise value,the Board of IPO applicants needs to be aware of its responsibility for maintaining the oversight,guiding the management team and reviewing key corporate governance and ESG issues on a continuous basis,which necessitates the support of ESG professionals through ESG training,business analysis,industry forecast and regulatory overview,to be constantly updated of potential and actual ESG risks and opportunities.

Prior to and during IPO process,GreenCo recommends preparation on:

Review and Draft ESG Disclosure in IPO Prospectus

ESG Capacity Building & Training

ESG Materiality Assessment & Risk Analysis

ESG Policy Development & Enhancement

ESG Reporting

ESG Target-Setting

ESG Benchmarking

Climate Scenario Analysis & Carbon Management

Post-IPO Continuous Efforts in ESG

Continuously delivering good performance in ESG management and disclosure is equally important. On top of the strict listing rules,it is vital to maintain a strong momentum in growing business while paying extra attention to its material ESG risks and opportunities as well as addressing concerns of stakeholders.
