performance

• To address the needs of various stakeholders and respond to them

• To benchmark market best practice on reporting

Start from where you are : One Step Forward at a Time

• Kick start the process to find out

where you are, what you have and

what you lack

• Establish the database over time

and do not wait until you have a

complete set of data

2012/13 (Third year) 2010/11 (First year)

7



• Formulate and review improvement plan regularly

• Identify areas which are of key focus

E.g. energy saving, fuel consumption, water consumption etc.

Different companies may have different focuses, prepare

materiality matrix accordingly

• Fill the data gap once missing ones have been identified

Communicate with colleagues and explain the reasons behind

Gain support from colleagues who are the expert in the field

Extend and share existing methodology to other subsidiaries and

partners

HKEx ESG Reporting Guide: Environmental Protection

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

12

• Set up reporting boundaries

• Most of the KPI can be found from environmental

table (quantitative data)

• Example: KPI B1.1 - 1.4, B2.1 & 2.2 and C3.1


Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

KPI B1.1 & 1.2

13

• KPI B1.5 & 1.6 are qualitative data

• Example: KPI B1.5


Aspect B1: Emissions

14

• Some data can be collected more easily than expected as they may already be

available. Start from where you are!

• Enhance efficiency by working with the right people to obtain data

• Example: KPI B2.1 & 2.2

Calculated by Emission Factor

Water bill

Electricity bill


Aspect B2: Use of resources

CLP# 0.48 0.56 0.53 0.52 0.53 0.57 0.54

HEC* 0.96 0.98 0.98 0.92 0.91 0.83 0.84

# Emission factors for CLP were derived from information in CLP Holdings Annual Report and CLP’s Key Performance Statistics.

* Emission factors for HEC were derived from information in HEC’s Environment, Quality, Health and Safety Report and HEC’s website.

What is CO2e and Emission Factor?

• CO2e can be taken as a common unit used to measure greenhouse gases

• Emission Factor can be used to calculate the amount of greenhouse gases

emissions caused by energy consumption

• Emission Factor for Different Power Companies in Hong Kong (in kg CO2e / kWh)

• 1000kWh * 0.54 = 540 kg CO2e

(electricity consumption (emission factor (540 kg carbon dioxide equivalent)

from electricity bill) from CLP)



16

Useful tools and reference:

• WWF Low-carbon Office

Operations Program (LOOP)

Challenge:

• Data consistency – data could be inconsistent if the company has a wide range of

businesses, especially across different countries

• Different understanding and interpretation of the requirement of guideline

• Guidelines To Account For

And Report On Greenhouse

Gas Emissions And

Removals For Buildings In

Hong Kong
