Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI)

As one of the earliest central bank signatories of the PRI, we participate in joint signatories’ efforts co-ordinated by the PRI to develop the standard RI due diligence questionnaire (DDQ) for private equities and venture capital investments, helping private market investors conduct ESG assessment of general partners (GPs) and prospective investments.

Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS)

Demonstrating its commitment to good ESG practices as a member of the NGFS, we contributed to the NGFS’ Guide on climate-related disclosure for central banks. We are also leading a sub-working group under the NGFS’ workstream of “Net Zero for Central Bank” tasked to formulate sustainable and responsible investment approach for the central banking community.

Our Engagement with Like-minded Investors and Counterparts

ESG workshop

We host annual ESG workshops to share ESG practices and market developments. In 2022, we successfully hosted our fourth annual ESG Workshop with nine participating private market institutions comprising GPs, limited partners and corporates, sharing good ESG practices and promoting sustainable investment opportunities in the Asia Pacific and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Engagement with market counterparts

We have urged our public market counterparties, primarily investment banks, to expand their ESG manpower and research capabilities, especially in Hong Kong.

We continued to participate in various industry forums and speaking engagements to share insights on RI and climate change strategies.
