The Chamber of Hong Kong Listed Companies Announces Winners of the ‘Hong Kong Corporate Governance and ESG Excellence Awards 2025’
Outstanding Enterprises Link ESG Performance to Management Remuneration, Leading the Industry to New Heights
Winning Companies Demonstrate Robust Governance Structures, Committed to Creating Long-term Value for All Stakeholders
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 December 2025 – Hong Kong has reclaimed its top position in the global initial public offering (IPO) fundraising rankings this year, reaffirming its strength in attracting international capital and solidifying its status as a global fundraising hub. Amidst this, local enterprises continue to strive for excellence. At the Awards Presentation Dinner for the ‘Hong Kong Corporate Governance and ESG Excellence Awards 2025’, Professor K.C. Chan, Chairman of The Chamber of Hong Kong Listed Companies (CHKLC), stated, “In the current environment, ‘Corporate Governance’ (CG) and ‘Environmental, Social, and Governance’ (ESG) have acquired more profound meaning than ever. Tonight, as we recognise listed companies that have excelled in these two areas, it is a timely demonstration of the corporate responsibility to keep the public interest at heart.”
He continued, “These award-winning companies are exemplary role models for the industry, dedicated to the well-being of their shareholders, employees, the communities in which they operate, disadvantaged groups, and the environment as a whole.”
Six Award Categories, with Outstanding Enterprises Honoured for Both CG and ESG
As in previous years, the Awards feature six categories: Hang Seng Index Constituent Companies, Hang Seng Composite Index Constituent Companies, Hang Seng China (Hong Kong-listed) 100 Index Constituent Companies, Weighted Voting Rights and Pre-profit Companies, Others & GEM Companies, and Newly-listed Companies.
Companies demonstrating outstanding performance in either corporate governance or ESG practices were publicly recognised with an Excellence Award. (Please refer to the Appendix for the full list of winners).
This year’s list of winners includes both past recipients and first-time awardees, reflecting continuous improvement in CG and ESG strategy and implementation across a growing number of listed companies. Some companies, excelling in both areas, received awards for both Corporate Governance and ESG, demonstrating their equal commitment to both. These companies include China Overseas Land & Investment Limited, China Resources Beer (Holdings) Company Limited, XPeng Inc., and Sino Land Company Limited.
Mr Tim Lui, GBS, JP, Chairman of the Judging Panel, noted, “The winning companies have made tremendous efforts on their journey towards excellence in corporate governance and ESG, and in the process, have brought positive outcomes to the business community, the environment, and society.”
Board Independence and Diversity a Growing Trend, with a Significant Rise in Female Directors
The Judging Panel commended the winners of the ‘Corporate Governance Excellence Awards’ for demonstrating robust and well-established governance structures. Their boards generally exhibit a high degree of independence and have actively adopted diversity policies. More companies have formulated a ‘Board Diversity Policy’ with some companies showing particularly outstanding performance in board gender diversity, achieving a female director ratio exceeding 50%. Furthermore, all winners have established multiple specialised board committees to perform specific functions, strengthened their risk management and internal control mechanisms, and their independent non-executive directors have also played a crucial role in providing independent perspectives and effective checks and balances.
ESG Management Integrated into Core Strategy, with Performance Linked to Management Remuneration
In the ‘ESG Excellence Awards’ category, a common strategic focus among the winning companies was actively addressing climate change and managing their carbon footprints. All winners have voluntarily aligned with international climate-related agreements and set clear timelines for achieving carbon neutrality. Some of the outstanding enterprises have linked ESG performance to the remuneration of their management teams to elevate ESG management standards. Others have extended their influence beyond their own emissions reduction efforts to upstream supply chain partners and the public, deeply integrating the concept of sustainable development into their corporate strategy and daily operations.
Dr Kai-Fu Lee, a Global Top 100 AI Leader, Shares Insights on Hong Kong’s Future Role
The Awards Presentation Dinner featured Dr Kai-Fu Lee, CEO of 01.AI and Chairman of Sinovation Ventures, as the keynote speaker. Dr Lee, formerly the President of Google China, is one of the key figures in driving China’s technological development. Now based in Hong Kong and focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) research and investment, he shared his unique insights with the audience on the future role Hong Kong can play in the AI domain.
The annual Awards aim to set the highest standards in corporate governance and ESG for Hong Kong’s listed companies, encouraging them to adopt their best policies, strategies, and practices, and to share their successful experiences with other listed companies, thereby setting a benchmark for the market.
Vistra was the title sponsor of the ‘Hong Kong Corporate Governance and ESG Excellence Awards’ for the second consecutive year. Mr Hailiang Zhang, Business Head, Executive Vice President, North Asia, Vistra, said, “The objectives of the Awards are perfectly aligned with Vistra’s vision, and we are delighted to be the title sponsor of this prestigious industry event once again.”

CUKTECH Officially Launches Its Online Store in Indonesia, Expanding Charging Technology Presence in Southeast Asia
CUKTECH focuses on the development of power and charging solutions, with a product portfolio that includes power banks, charging cables, wall chargers, and car chargers. Product development emphasizes charging efficiency, safety standards, and long-term reliability, addressing everyday usage scenarios involving smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other connected devices. The brand’s solutions are designed to support increasingly common multi-device lifestyles, including mobile work and frequent travel.
Prior to the launch of the official online store, CUKTECH operated in Indonesia mainly through third-party distribution channels, resulting in limited product availability. With the establishment of an official channel, the company is gradually introducing a more complete product lineup to the Indonesian market, aligning local availability with that of other Southeast Asian markets such as Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
According to the company, the official online store serves as a centralized platform for presenting product specifications, technical features, and launch updates in a consistent manner. This approach is intended to improve transparency and accessibility for consumers while supporting a more structured, long-term market strategy in Indonesia.
Looking ahead, CUKTECH plans to continue expanding its product portfolio in Indonesia, introducing additional products to address evolving local usage needs. Future launches will focus on scenarios such as multi-device charging, mobile productivity, and daily commuting, reflecting changing consumer behavior.
This market-oriented approach aligns with CUKTECH’s brand philosophy, “In somewhere, For somewhere,” which emphasizes adapting products and solutions to the specific needs of each market rather than applying a uniform global model.

Green SM Launches All-Electric Taxi Service in Bali with Taksi Komotra
Under the partnership structure, Green SM provides the technology platform, all-electric vehicle fleet, operational standards, and driver development system, while Taksi Komotra contributes its established local expertise and network across Bali. The collaboration integrates electric mobility technology with on-the-ground operational capabilities to deliver a scalable, governance-driven transportation model.
Operations in Bali are implemented under Green SM’s “5 Green Promises” service commitment framework. Established as a foundational operating standard since the company’s inception, the framework ensures that each ride delivers an excellent customer experience, professional drivers, high-quality and safe vehicles, fair and transparent pricing, and a meaningful contribution to environmental sustainability.
The service operates an all-electric fleet that produces no exhaust emissions or fuel combustion. All vehicles are maintained under strict technical and safety protocols to ensure consistent service performance while contributing to cleaner air and quieter urban environments.
A central pillar of the launch is the Green SM Driver ecosystem. Drivers are positioned as professional green mobility ambassadors guided by five core values: Respect, Professionalism, Dedication, Discipline, and Competitive Income with Stable Career Pathways. Structured training, transparent earnings mechanisms, and disciplined service governance aim to elevate driving into a respected profession while maintaining safety and reliability as foundational standards. This framework aligns income stability with environmental responsibility, reinforcing the role of drivers in supporting Bali’s sustainable tourism trajectory.
The launch comes amid rising mobility demand driven by tourism growth and daily transportation needs across the island. The Indonesia Tourism Outlook 2025 report notes a sustained shift toward environmentally responsible travel, underscoring the relevance of electric mobility in long-term development planning. According to projections from Indonesia’s National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), green employment nationwide is expected to reach 4.8-5.3 million by 2029, reflecting the broader economic potential of sustainable industries.

Mr. Deny Tjia, Managing Director of Green SM Indonesia, said: “The partnership with Taksi Komotra reflects our long-term commitment to building a high-quality, well-governed mobility ecosystem in Indonesia. By combining electric vehicles with professional driver development and clear operational standards, we aim to support Bali’s sustainable tourism ambitions while delivering safe, reliable, and comfortable rides for the community.”
H. Hasbi, Chairman of Koperasi Komotra, said: “We are proud to partner with Green SM to introduce electric taxis in Bali. Electric mobility will become part of the new standard for tourism and daily transportation on the island, and this collaboration helps us better serve local residents and visitors while preparing for the future of sustainable transport.”
The Bali launch marks another strategic milestone in Green SM’s expansion in Indonesia, following earlier operations in key markets including Jakarta, Makassar, Bekasi, and Surabaya. In these cities, the service has been positively received by local residents and international visitors alike, who value its clean electric fleet, professional drivers, and structured safety standards that enhance travel confidence.
With its growing presence across the country, Green SM continues to build a scalable electric mobility ecosystem that balances environmental responsibility, service excellence, and inclusive economic growth.

Wuxi, the Newest UNESCO City of Music, Charms Europe with 2026 Folk Tour
Launched on February 14, the “Chinese Folk Music Odyssey” featured seven major concerts alongside a series of academic and grassroots cultural exchanges. The tour served as a high-level dialogue between the traditional heritage of China’s Jiangnan region and the classical musical heartlands of Europe.
The tour opened at the Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels, where a capacity crowd of 2,000 experienced the vibrant Spring Festival Overture. The ensemble presented a “Chinese Music Feast,” using traditional instruments to paint an auditory “Jiangnan Scroll” of southern Chinese life. In a poignant finale, Chinese fiddles joined forces with local keyed violins to perform the classic Horse Racing. The fusion of Eastern and Western strings brought tears to the eyes of the Chinese diaspora and earned standing ovations from local attendees.
“The melodies possess both natural charm and profound cultural heritage,” noted Belgian music critic Philippe, following six curtain calls. “It is a truly borderless musical exchange.”
Beyond the concert halls, the group engaged with European pop culture in the heart of Brussels’ Comic Strip district. A “flash mob” titled Tintin’s Encounter with Jiangnan Music saw musicians performing alongside iconic murals of Tintin, engaging local youth and residents through social media-friendly cultural interaction.

The journey continued through Germany’s elite venues, including Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie and the Tonhalle Düsseldorf, showcasing the technical precision of Chinese folk orchestration. In the Austrian Tyrol, the tour took an improvisational turn as Wuxi musicians performed alongside local artists against the backdrop of the Alps, a live demonstration of the “beauty without borders”.
The tour concluded on February 26 in Vienna, where the ensemble hosted the “Dreamy Jiangnan” cultural salon at the Wiener Konzerthaus. The event paired musical performances with an interactive exhibition of Wuxi’s intangible cultural heritage, featuring traditional embroidery and clay figurines. The delegation also visited the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna for the “Jiangnan Charm, Harmonious Resonance” China-Austria Music Exchange event. Through a series of academic dialogues with faculty and students, both sides engaged in a meaningful cultural encounter. These interactions went beyond simple performances, significantly deepening mutual understanding and strengthening the musical ties between East and West.
By integrating the “Voice of China” into the “World Symphony,” the Wuxi Cultural Exchange Group has opened a new chapter in Wuxi’s enduring musical engagement with the world.
