Sustainability

At the HKMA, we have been devoting significant efforts to supporting Hong Kong’s climate goal and contributing to a more climate-resilient and sustainable world.  As Hong Kong’s central banking institution and a bank supervisor, the HKMA has taken concrete steps to strengthen the financial sector’s resilience to climate-related risks and enhance the vibrancy and competitiveness of Hong Kong’s green and sustainable finance ecosystem.  The HKMA is also actively involved in local and international bodies and networks to contribute to policy dialogues on addressing climate change and its impact on financial stability.  

As an investor, the HKMA has been stepping up the Exchange Fund’s responsible investment momentum by expanding its sustainable investments across both public and private markets, and targeting opportunities that support climate transition and mitigate climate change, which in turn enhances the long-term portfolio returns. 

Within the HKMA, we aspire to promote a green workplace and advocate greener solutions in society; nurture a healthy and inclusive workplace as a responsible and caring employer; and give back to society in addition to advocating financial literacy and financial inclusion.

Our work is centred on enhancing the financial sector’s climate-resilience and disclosures on climate-related risks and opportunities, and growing the green and sustainable finance ecosystem, while achieving net zero emissions in the Exchange Fund’s Investment Portfolio and our corporate operations.
