Governance And ESG Excellence As Dual Engines For Hong Kong’s Financial Market Success, Speech At The HKICPA Best Corporate Governance And ESG Awards 2025 Presentation Luncheon Ceremony, Dr Kelvin Wong, Hong Kong Chairman, Hong Kong Securities And Futures Commission, 31 October 2025

Date 31/10/2025

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon.

It is an honour for me to join you at the Best Corporate Governance and ESG Awards (BCGA) 2025.

On behalf of the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), I would like to express my gratitude to the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (HKICPA) for more than 50 years of dedication to Hong Kong’s financial market development. As a key financial gatekeeper, the accounting profession has been the unsung hero behind the city’s rise as a premier international financial centre.

I am also deeply appreciative of the Institute’s quarter-century legacy of recognising governance excellence and effective reporting, contributing significantly to our financial market quality. Congratulations on the silver jubilee of the BCGA awards, which have stood as a beacon of best governance and sustainability practices.
