Programme Highlights

Set against the backdrop of the global pandemic, environmental, social and governance (ESG) has emerged as a hot topic as organizations and governments alike focus on a green recovery. The rise of ESG has brought non-financial reporting into the forefront of corporate disclosures, influencing business strategy, investment decisions, and access to financing. The latest requirements from ESG reporting frameworks have impacted all branches of business, from internal audits to human resources, and corporate communications to engineering operations.

The Young Members Committees of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) and The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) have jointly invited experts from Ernest & Young (EY)to present at this webinar to introduce the big picture driving ESG performance in companies, and how these trends are impacting engineering-related companies, their business direction, and daily operations, as well as the role of engineers and accountants in this rapidly growing field.

Language

The workshop will be conducted in Cantonese
