Since 2014, the Hang Seng Indexes Company has engaged the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (HKQAA), an independent and professional assessment body, to conduct an annual evaluation of the sustainability performance of listed companies. The sustainability ratings serve as a valuable indicator of corporate ESG performance and are a key criterion for the formulation of ESG indexes, including the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index Series and the Hang Seng ESG 50 Index. These ESG indexes provide benchmarks for sustainability investments.
