The Centre is proud to collaborate with Master Insight (灼見名家) to develop a scientific framework on ESG profiling for listed firms in Hong Kong. This profiling mechanism can provide quantitative driven ratings for listed firms for the purpose of ESG recognition and awards. The evaluation methodology will be based on the i-score (a ESG performance score developed by Prof. Louis Cheng) and a proprietary ESG disclosure rating (APE-score) developed by Ascent Partners. The outcome is expected to be used as the major criteria in the forthcoming ESG Recognition by Master Insight.

The outcome of i-Score and APE-score used as the major criteria and supported the evaluation of MI x HSU ESG Award 2024. For more information, please visit the ESG Award website.
