CLP named to the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index Series

CLP Holdings has been named to the newly launched Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index and Hang Seng (Mainland and HK) Corporate Sustainability Index.

The Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index Series comprises three indices which list companies in Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland that have strong performance in corporate sustainability, which encompasses environmental, social responsibility and corporate governance performance.

CLP is among the first Hong Kong companies listed on Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index Series, the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index (DJSI Asia Pacific) and the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific 40 Index (DJSI Asia Pacific 40).

Mr. Andrew Brandler, CEO of CLP Holdings, said, “We welcome CLP’s inclusion in the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index Series. The new Index reflects the growing importance which investors place on sustainability.”

“The social and environmental value of sustainable business practices has long been clear. The Index is an example of how capital providers increasingly recognize the economic value they also create.”

“CLP is firmly committed to sustainability in its activities and to reporting honestly on our performance.”

CLP has been publishing its Sustainability Report every year since 2002 and is one of the few energy companies in the Asia-Pacific region to have publicly announced its voluntary carbon intensity reduction targets. The company is also among the first in Hong Kong to apply the London Benchmarking Group model to assess the impact of its flagship community initiatives and published the results in a Community Investments Report.
