Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) achieved carbon neutrality across its global operations by the end of 2024, primarily through renewable energy adoption and carbon credit investments. Approximately 99% of HKEX’s electricity now comes from renewable sources, and the company offset 55,000 tonnes of residual emissions via its Core Climate marketplace.
Paul Chow, HKEX’s Chief Sustainability Officer, emphasized this as a key milestone but noted that it marks just the beginning of their journey toward net zero. HKEX aims for net-zero emissions by 2040, aligning with the Paris Agreement, and will implement ISSB-aligned climate disclosures from 2025. The company continues to lead sustainability efforts, including expanding renewables and driving systemic change.
