Newly-Released ESG Guide Consultation Conclusions and ESG Disclosure Review by HKEX

The initial public offering (“IPO”) journey has never been straightforward. In addition to business-related financial metrics, evolving stakeholder expectations and heightening regulatory demands for resilient growth supported by well-articulated Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) strategy and performance have indicated that ESG and climate-related corporate mandates growingly tip the scales when it comes to a company’s successful IPO and overall performance.
 
Against the backdrop that regulatory authorities and capital markets around the world are demanding transparent ESG disclosures from companies looking to go public, while IPO-ready companies align themselves with enhanced regulatory frameworks, some of them even make ESG practices front and center in their IPO roadshow phase to gain access to the pool of capital from international ESG-focused investors.
