Abstract

In Hong Kong, businesses nowadays are required to disclose their non-financial information in the Environmental, Social and Governance reports which generate pouring amount of information to the public. Such information is somehow inconsistent and difficult to extract or analyze despite the existence of local reporting guideline (e.g. Appendix 27 ESG Reporting Guide) and other international principles (e.g. GRI standards, IFRS S1 and S2, TCFD framework, TNFD framework, etc.). This salon aims to explore together more systematic and efficient ways for data extraction and measurement which is critical to any content analysis.
