Environmental, Social and Governance
Value Partners Group seeks to facilitate the long-term sustainable development of the environment and the society in which it operates in, and is therefore committed to minimizing any negative social and environmental impacts resulting from our operations. The Group values the importance of compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
The Board of Directors provides the overall direction on management of sustainability issues and Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) risks. Reporting and disclosure of ESG initiatives is implemented by company secretarial services team with approval by the Board, which is also responsible for collaborating with other functional areas on the integration and implementation of sustainability initiatives throughout the Company.
The asset management business of Value Partners primarily operates by our leased offices located in Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai and Shenzhen, and hence all Group policies and strategies reported are applicable to our offices. Relevant environmental indicators will be reported to our Hong Kong headquarters and to our offices in Singapore and Shanghai where applicable. Environmental data for our Shenzhen office will be excluded due to their immaterial environmental footprint.
In July 2019, we formally became a signatory of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (“UNPRI”), and are committed to actively support and promote responsible investment initiatives in the markets that we operate in.
