HKIoD joins Climate Governance Initiative and launches CGI Hong Kong Chapter

HONG KONG, Sep 26, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – The Hong Kong Institute of Directors ("HKIoD") announced at the Directors' Conference 2022 that it has joined the Climate Governance Initiative ("CGI") and launched the CGI Hong Kong Chapter ("CGI HK").

CGI is a global initiative the World Economic Forum started in 2019, with the aim of encouraging boards worldwide to address climate change issues in their businesses. It upholds eight principles: 1. climate accountability on boards, 2. command of the subject, 3. board structure, 4. material risk and opportunity assessment, 5. strategic integration, 6. incentivisation, 7. reporting and disclosure, and 8. exchange.

Dr Moses Cheng, Honorary President and Founding Chairman of HKIoD, GBM, GBS, OBE, JP, said, "Climate risks will seriously affect sustainable development of the human society and corporate environment, and their impacts on the survival and shareholder value of enterprises are even harder to predict. Thus, tackling climate change is a matter of urgency for the human society. At the helm of sustainable development of their corporations, directors are duty-bound and crucial to leading climate governance actions. HKIoD is honoured to join CGI and to launch CGI HK, and work with partners and collaborators to provide directors with an important platform for exchanging climate governance knowledge and opinions. In addition, CGI HK will strive to have boards include 'Responses to Climate Change' in their regular agenda."

Dr Christopher To, Chairman of HKIoD, said, "HKIoD sees promoting corporate social responsibility and sustainable development as an important action plan. Being able to join CGI this year while HKIoD celebrates its 25th anniversary means a lot to us. It is a testament to HKIoD upholding its original intentions, which are to lead the business community in contributing to building a better future, and to earn the recognition of international authoritative organisations for its efforts made over past years. HKIoD will continue to help the Hong Kong business community raise corporate governance standard and together with it build a more brilliant future."

Dr Carlye Tsui, CEO of HKIoD, said, "Climate change and sustainable development have caught eyes in recent years and are key topics many HKIoD training courses cover. In our new role in hosting CGI Hong Kong Chapter, we will help strengthen communication and exchanges with corporate directors and experts from around the world, take reference of their knowledge and experience in enhancing the quality and quantity of our climate governance-related training."

CGI currently has over 20 chapters in its global network with altogether 100,000 members.

CGI HK is a community composing of directors, including non-executive directors ("NEDs") and executive directors ("EDs"), and subject matter experts.

To assist in meeting the challenges arising from climate change, CGI HK's mission is to reach out to directors to advance knowledge, motivate actions and promote best board practice in climate governance. As Chairman of the CGI HK Steering Committee, Dr Carlye Tsui said, "CGI HK acts to empower, enable and engage directors in gaining climate awareness and skills and in embedding climate considerations into board decision-making. Directors should understand and the risks to the success of and opportunities for their organisations that the climate emergency brings. To support directors in climate governance, CGI HK will develop and curate regular forums and training and produce and share relevant published information. These activities will be opportunities for NEDs and EDs to learn, and interact with each other and subject matter experts."

However, as there are still many looming uncertainties, we must not be complacent. We should learn the true meaning of resilience and gain skills in implementing sustainability initiatives and engaging stakeholders in developing sustainable business practices in such VUCA times."

Value Research Center, Kyoto at the UNGA77 Science Summit

KYOTO, Japan, Sep 21, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – What qualifies a 'good' company these days? How can a company's impacts on key stakeholders be honestly measured?

Prof. Philip Sugai, Director of the Value Research Center (VRC) at Doshisha University, Kyoto will share how he and his research team have integrated and synthesized many of the world's top ESG and sustainability reporting frameworks into The Value Model, a goal-based, objective, and transparent model for measuring stakeholder value at this year's UN General Assembly Science Summit.

The theme of this year's Science Summit is "The Role of Science and Innovation in Attaining the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)." This event brings together scientists, academics, government leaders and citizens from around the world to participate in a series of workshops, presentations and discussions. The 8th annual Science Summit is being held live in New York and online and it is free to attend.

This presentation is one of seven events hosted by the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and its co-host, the Permanent Mission of Japan to the United Nations.

"Our half-day workshop aims to help move beyond the politics surrounding discussions around sustainability," said Prof. Sugai. "Based on an ethical foundation from Japan, we'll define what a 'good' company is, then explore how company impacts on its stakeholders can be measured and managed, and finally how this kind of measurement model can be used to develop both practical regulatory oversight as well as forward-thinking, value-focused business strategies across developed and developing economies."

Following Prof. Sugai's opening presentation, he and Prof. Toshiya Hoshino, Director of the ESG Integration Research and Education Center (ESG-IREC), OSIPP, Osaka University, will discuss how value measurement and more meaningful ESG reporting can help further enhance the achievement of SDGs, as well as Japan's unique role and contribution to these issues.

After this discussion, a panel of experts in Japanese business and sustainability reporting who have deep experience across academia, industry, and government policy will dig more deeply into the essence of value, Japan's historical and current efforts to align this history with the current challenges addressed by the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals, and how business can continue to drive real and measurable achievement of these in a just and equitable way.

Panel speakers include:
– Prof. Haruko Satoh (Moderator), Co-Director, OSIPP-IAFOR Research Centre, Osaka University
– Masato Yamazaki, Professor Emeritus of Economics, Aquinas College
– Yoshie Sugai, Founder and Head Instructor, Chiseikan Dojo
– Trista Bridges, Cofounder & Principal, Author, Read the Air
– Jin Montesano, Chief People Officer, LIXIL Corporation
– Kumar Iyer, Sustainable Strategy Mentor

The Valuing Value half-day workshop will be held on Monday, Sept 26 from 9:00 – 11:30 EST (22:00 – 00:30 JST).

Value Research Center (VRC) publishes August White Paper: The VRC Value Model & EFRAG

KYOTO, Japan, Sep 6, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Companies and sustainability teams need a new model for measuring and managing stakeholder impacts, as claims of corporate greenwashing and value washing increase daily. The Value Research Center (VRC) at Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan has announced the publication of its 2022 August White Paper, focusing on the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG's) latest disclosure drafts for sustainability reporting, and how this model aligns with and deepens the overall quality of the VRC Value Model.

The Value Research Center (VRC) publishes 2022 August White Paper: The Value Model & EFRAG

According to Professor Philip Sugai, Director of the Value Research Center, "After integrating EFRAG's 114 draft disclosure requirements into the VRC Value Model, we were impressed with the scope of EFRAG's coverage of many of the Value Model's stakeholders, themes and goals. Especially with their push for companies to document their impacts using 'double materiality', we see a shift towards greater understanding of business decisions on individual stakeholder groups."

SAP Japan International Ambassador Paul Beddie said, "The VRC In Kyoto has been working to organize the world's top ESG and Sustainability Reporting frameworks into a goal-based, value creation model that will help companies to create value across their key stakeholders. Companies around the world are in desperate need of a way to consolidate the alphabet soup of standards to reduce their workload on ESG reporting and focus more on the critical ESG outcomes they transformed their businesses to achieve.

"The VRC's Value Model is a very effective tool for doing just that. The additional integration of the draft reporting standards from EFRAG should also help companies doing business in the EU to align their disclosures with the EU Taxonomy."

With the publication of the August White Paper, the VRC will begin to collaborate with several of the world's leading companies in adopting the VRC Value Model, applying it to their own ESG and sustainability reporting requirements, and creating forward-looking sustainability strategies rather than backwards-focused disclosures.

Professor Sugai will be hosting a session at the UNGA77 Science Summit, where he will discuss the VRC Value Model and its broader practical applications, together with a panel of experts from academia, government, and business.

The UNGA77 Science Summit session, "Valuing Value: How any Organization Can Measure Stakeholder Value and "Ethical Capitalism" (https://ssunga77.sched.com/event/1AWkD), will be held on Sept 26 from 9:00 to 11:30 AM EST. Registration for the complete UNGA77 Science Summit is free and available at https://ssunga77.sched.com/tickets.

The "2022 August White Paper: The Value Model & EFRAG" is available for download at the Value Research Center website: www.valueresearchcenter.com/publications.

Nomination Opens for “Directors Of The Year Awards 2022”

HONG KONG, Jun 22, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – The "Directors Of The Year Awards 2022" organised by The Hong Kong Institute of Directors ("HKIoD") is open for nomination now. Themed "From Resilience to Sustainability", the Awards this year recognises directors and boards capable of leading their companies in adapting to changes and, with outstanding governance thinking and practical strategies skills, taking their companies towards sustainable development in the ever-changing business environment.

Dr Christopher To, Chairman of HKIoD, said, "Leadership in crisis calls for the ability to rethink and redefine some long-standing values or structure, and also the courage and strength to brave the uphill. In the at large uncertain environment now, we must keep learning, evolving, adapting and changing, to make sure the 'new normal' is a 'better normal'. Marking HKIoD's 25th Anniversary, this year's award is themed 'From Resilience to Sustainability', reflective of what we have learnt over the years. Resilience is the most important quality a company needs to survive in the ever-changing world and sustainability is the ultimate goal of every company. I hope all of you can nominate directors and boards standing out in these two aspects, that we may take as examples to inspire all in the business sector to excel."

Mr Richard Ho, Chairman of 2022 Directors Awards Organising Committee, said, "When discussing the award theme this year, the Committee thought though the global scene is still unpredictable and challenging, it has become clearer. Thus, we decided to have 'From Resilience to Sustainability' as the theme easier to grasp. We hope to commend those outstanding leaders who braved the challenges from the pandemic and helped their companies achieve good results, and also to remind those in different sectors to set their eyes on long-term strategy and advance towards their sustainable development goal."

Dr Carlye Tsui, CEO of HKIoD, said, "All of us, companies or individuals, have gotten used to staying clam in the turbulent environment. With our feet firmly on the ground, it is time that we head again towards our long-term targets. Directors, as leaders of a company, should be sensitive at all times to changes in the market and plan the 'next step' to take. For example, Web3.0 is the latest and a major trend likely to bring revolutionary changes in the near future to all of us. Business leaders who do not have a good understanding of it might just miss the opportunities that come with it. Offering diverse and innovative courses, HKIoD helps members refresh what has been learnt and acquire new knowledge, so that they may be ready any time to take their companies forward."
