Why this ESG Award deserves your attention?
為什麼選擇灼見名家X恒生大學ESG大獎?
Master Insight (MI) and the Research Centre for ESG (CESG) at HSUHK are proud to announce the launch of the third ESG Award. While upholding the tradition of adopting a rigorous evaluation process in the past two years, we continue to seek improvement to recognize awardees in a fair manner. This year, we take a courageous step in recognizing excellent ESG achievements in the areas of leadership and communication. In addition, we made a significant enhancement in the application process by providing extensive guidelines using an online platform. Our goal is simple: to recognize awardees in a scientific manner through a friendlier application process.
The organizers recognize that there are many ESG and sustainability awards in Hong Kong these days. A listed firm or a private company/organization can easily receive some ESG award with minimum efforts. However, we believe that reputable organizations with serious ESG commitment deserve recognition which can only be granted after going through a rigorous and scientific evaluation. We aim to position our ESG awards as one of the highest recognitions in Hong Kong. In order to achieve this aspiration, we spend a significant amount of effort in designing the award evaluation framework with the following special features:

灼見名家(Master Insight) 和香港恒生大學ESG研究中心 (CESG) 很榮幸地宣布第三屆ESG獎正式啟動。 我們在秉承過去兩年採用嚴格評審程序的傳統的同時繼續尋求改進,以公平的方式表彰獲獎者。 今年,我們邁出了勇敢的一步,表彰在領導卓越表現和傳訊方面取得傑出ESG成就的企業。 此外,我們也大大改善了申請流程,利用網上平台提供了廣泛的指導。 我們希望可通過更簡易的申請程序,以公平、科學、認受性高的方式嘉許更多有志ESG的公司和機構參與。

獎項類別包括ESG典範大獎、ESG披露獎、ESG卓越領導獎、ESG企業傳訊獎及ES項目獎*

About our ESG Elite Club
ESG業界精英會
ESG achievement takes a substantial effort and long-term commitment with adequate resources. Peer support and networking with the like-minded play an important role in the ESG journey for corporations. The purpose of the ESG Elite Club is to provide a platform for organizations which received our ESG awards to help each other in achieving ESG excellence continuously.
We plan to form the ESG Elite Club by inviting awardees from 2022 to 2024. Master Insight and the Research Centre of ESG at HSUHK will serve as secretariat office to handle the administration and operation of the Club. We plan to nominate qualified representatives of the awardees to serve as honorary officers (e.g., President, Vice President, etc.) to lead the direction of the Club. The secretariat will initiate events and programs related to ESG enhancement so that Club members can benefit from the ongoing knowledge transfer activities and networking opportunities.
實踐ESG需要大量的努力及充足的資源,以履行這個長遠的承諾。過程中,業界的相互支持及一致的目標是不可或缺的。而ESG業界精英會旨在為獲得我們ESG獎項的機構提供平台,讓大家互相幫助,不斷在ESG方面取得卓越成就。
主辦機構將邀請在2022至24年的得獎者加入ESG業界精英會。灼見名家及香港恒生大學的ESG研究中心會以秘書處的角色負責本會的行政和運作。我們計劃提名符合資格的獲獎者代表擔任名譽職位(如會長、副會長等),以引領本會的發展。 秘書處將發起與加強ESG相關的活動和計劃,使本會成員能夠從持續的知識轉移活動和交流機會中受益。
