Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing achieved carbon neutrality in late 2024, reinforcing its commitment to net zero transition, the Standard reported on Thursday.
Initiatives like energy efficiency, low-carbon procurement, and carbon projects were launched to start working toward net zero and to enhance sustainability efforts, Standard reported, citing HKEX.
HKEX invested in carbon credits from afforestation projects via Core Climate to offset emissions, and by late 2024, 99% of HKEX's global office space will use renewable electricity. The company used 55,000 tons of carbon credits for carbon neutrality last year, the Standard said.
