On August 16, 2019, Hang Seng Index Company Limited announced the results of the index review and made it public. As of June 28, 2019, the quarterly review results of the Hang Seng Index series will take effect from September 9, 2019 (Monday).
The selection process for the constituent stocks of the Hang Seng Sustainable Development Enterprises Index series refers to the ratings and research results of "Hong Kong Quality, with Sustainable Development," designed and executed by the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency. This index series is objective, reliable, and highly investable, providing a series of high-quality benchmarks for index funds focused on corporate sustainable development themes.
The Hang Seng A-Share Sustainable Development Enterprises Benchmark Index includes the mainland listed companies with the most outstanding performance in corporate sustainable development. Since the review of the Hang Seng A-Share Sustainable Development Enterprises Benchmark Index began, the selection scope of A-share constituent stocks in this index has exceeded 1,200 A-share companies, ultimately selecting 124, hoping to provide a more comprehensive ESG data solution for different individuals in the mainland A-share market.
International attention to corporate sustainable development (including environmental, social, and corporate governance aspects) has significantly increased in recent years. Investors are gradually focusing on companies with the most outstanding performance in corporate sustainable development, leading to a continuous rise in global sustainable investment. ESG reports are a communication method for companies to regularly disclose to stakeholders the concept, strategy, methods of fulfilling social responsibility, and the impacts of business activities on economic, social, and environmental dimensions. ESG has been regarded by global investors as three important non-financial indicators for measuring corporate sustainable development. More and more listed companies are accepting ESG assessments from international investors, and an increasing number of investment institutions are incorporating the ESG performance of listed companies into their investment analysis, due diligence, and investment decisions. ESG principles have had a substantial impact on the resource allocation of capital markets.
Lijuzhu Group has built a multi-level ESG management structure from top to bottom and has released ESG reports for three consecutive years. By preparing ESG reports, the company systematically sorts and analyzes various responsibility risks it may face, promotes internal management improvement, and helps implement sustainable strategies in all work, meeting the needs of various stakeholders and enhancing the image and influence of Lijuzhu Group.
Therefore, Lijuzhu Group is included in the Hang Seng A-Share Sustainable Development Enterprises Benchmark Index, which recognizes Lijuzhu Group's sustainable development and reflects its outstanding performance in business development, environment, society, and corporate governance. Lijuzhu will continue to innovate and strive for progress, bringing the best returns to society and investors through excellent business performance, contributing to a healthy China.
