绿色股权认证是继绿色债券之后，国际可持续金融向权益市场延伸的创新工具。香港2026年《施政报告》明确提出港交所将推出“绿色股权认证计划”，此次框架落地及首批名单公布，正是该政策的正式实施。

与债券第二方意见（SPO）聚焦单笔募集资金用途不同，绿色股权认证立足企业主体层面的整体评估：按照“《香港可持续金融分类目录》—内地《绿色金融支持项目目录》/欧盟分类标准—其他国际认可分类标准”的层级顺序判定绿色业务活动，设置刚性量化门槛——绿色收入占比不低于50%，绿色投资（资本开支与运营开支合计）占比不低于50%，化石燃料相关收入与投资占比均须低于5%，并同步核验企业在环境、社会与治理方面的合规情况。企业申请认证须委托名单内认可评核机构完成独立评估并出具评估报告；认证由港交所全资子公司香港绿色标的计划有限公司Hong Kong Green Designation Limited（HKGDL）授予，有效期一年，企业须每年重新评估续期，认证结果及评估报告将在HKGDL资源中心公开。尚未上市的企业（含拟赴港IPO企业）亦可申请临时认证，待上市后按规定取得HKGDL正式确认。

从申请主体看，无论是港股上市公司，还是拟赴港IPO企业及其他非上市企业，均可从中受益。结合框架的量化门槛，以下几类企业与认证的适配度尤为突出：一是绿色收入占比较高的“纯绿”企业，包括风电、光伏等可再生能源发电企业，新能源汽车、动力电池及充电设施产业链企业，以及节能环保、水务与固废处理、绿色建筑、清洁交通等领域企业；二是资本开支与运营开支主要投向绿色业务、正处于低碳转型扩张期的企业；三是拟赴港上市的绿色企业，可在IPO筹备阶段先行申请临时认证，上市后转为正式认证，让“绿色身份”成为发行上市叙事的一部分。对于业务横跨内地、香港与海外市场的跨境经营企业，还可依托框架的分层级分类标准适用规则完成评估，一套绿色核算成果同时服务于港股、内地与国际市场的绿色融资需求。

香港交易所绿色股权是自愿性认证框架，旨在以可信的方式识别为低碳未来转型作出实质贡献的企业。在此基础上，绿色股权认证的落地有望带来多方面的积极影响。对香港而言，它与已既有成熟的香港可持续债券和贷款、ESG披露要求等可持续金融基础设施体系形成互补，继续推动香港成为国际可持续金融中心、推动《香港可持续金融分类目录》在资本市场实践中的采纳与融合。对企业而言，认证相当于一张交易所框架背书的标准化绿色“入场券”：既有助于企业进入设有硬性筛选规则的海外养老金、主权基金等长线机构资金的可持续股票标的池，也将企业的绿色叙事从“自我陈述”转化为经第三方核验的事实依据，降低信息不对称、积累可信的绿色品牌声誉；评估过程还是对企业绿色业务的一次系统性穿透盘点，形成的结论与数据可直接服务于ESG报告与气候相关披露、适配ISSB准则落地，降低跨境绿色融资的时间与成本。对投资者而言，认证以量化门槛和独立第三方评审为基础，着力提升获认证企业的市场能见度与透明度，增强投资者信心、为投资者识别从事环境可持续经济活动的企业提供了标准化、可核验的参考，有助于防范“洗绿”风险。

中诚信绿金国际长期位居中资离岸绿色债券第二方意见（SPO）市场首位，深度服务港股上市企业及赴港中资发行人的绿色债券、可持续发展债券评估认证，熟悉香港、内地、欧盟三大主流绿色分类标准体系，具备横跨债权绿色评估、权益绿色主体认证、的全链条复合能力。依托股权与债权评估能力的协同，中诚信绿金国际可面向港股上市公司、拟赴港IPO企业及其他非上市企业，提供业务活动分类判定、绿色收入与绿色投资及化石燃料敞口测算、ESG合规核查等全流程服务，并出具符合港交所要求的评估报告。

中诚信绿金国际CEO杨珺皓表示：“绿色股权认证把分类标准的应用从债券市场延伸到权益市场，补齐了香港可持续金融工具体系的重要一环。中诚信绿金国际在离岸绿色债券SPO和港股上市公司ESG服务领域拥有长期积累，此次成为港交所首批认可评核机构，既是市场机遇，更是沉甸甸的责任。我们将充分发挥股权与债权一体化评估优势，为港股发行人和全球投资者输出可信、可比的专业评估成果，助力香港可持续金融生态高质量发展”。

[Hong Kong, 20 October 2026] CCX Green Finance International (CCXGFI) has been named among the first cohort of Recognised Reviewers for the Green Equity Designation Programme, as officially released by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX). The HKEX Green Equity Framework took effect on 20 October 2026. Developed with reference to the Green Equity Principles of the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), the Framework is open to companies listed on HKEX as well as listing applicants, filling the gap of a standardised tool for identifying green entities in Hong Kong's equity market and further strengthening Hong Kong's standing as an international green finance centre.

The Green Equity Designation is an innovation that extends international sustainable finance from the bond market to the equity market, following the development of green bonds. Hong Kong's 2026 Policy Address expressly stated that HKEX would introduce a "Green Equity Designation Scheme"; the Framework's entry into force and the publication of the first cohort of reviewers mark the official implementation of this policy initiative.

Unlike a second party opinion (SPO) for bonds, which focuses on the use of proceeds of a single financing, the Green Equity Designation provides a holistic, entity-level assessment: green business activities are classified following a tiered sequence of the Hong Kong Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance, the Chinese Mainland's Green Finance Endorsed Project Catalogue or the EU Taxonomy, and other recognised international taxonomies, and stringent quantitative thresholds apply — no less than 50% of revenue derived from green activities, no less than 50% of investment (capital and operating expenditure combined) allocated to green activities, and both fossil-fuel-related revenue and investment below 5% — while the applicant's compliance with environmental, social and governance requirements is also reviewed. To apply, a company must engage a Recognised Reviewer from the official list to conduct an independent assessment and issue an assessment report. The designation is granted by Hong Kong Green Designation Limited (HKGDL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of HKEX; it is valid for one year and subject to annual reassessment for renewal, and designation results and assessment reports will be published on the HKGDL Resource Hub. Companies not yet listed (including pre-IPO applicants) may also apply for a provisional designation and, upon listing, obtain HKGDL's official confirmation in accordance with the relevant requirements.

In terms of applicants, both HKEX-listed companies and pre-IPO or other non-listed companies stand to benefit. In light of the Framework's quantitative thresholds, the following types of companies are particularly well suited: first, "pure green" companies with a high share of green revenue, including wind, solar and other renewable energy power generators, companies across the new energy vehicle, power battery and charging infrastructure value chains, and companies in energy conservation and environmental protection, water and solid waste treatment, green building and clean transportation; second, companies whose capital and operating expenditure are predominantly directed to green activities and which are in an expansion phase of low-carbon transition; and third, green companies preparing for a Hong Kong IPO, which may apply for a provisional designation during IPO preparation and have it converted into an official designation upon listing, making their "green identity" part of their listing narrative. Companies operating across the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong and overseas markets may also complete the assessment under the Framework's tiered taxonomy rules, so that a single set of green accounting results can serve green financing needs across the Hong Kong, Mainland and international markets.

The HKEX Green Equity is a voluntary designation framework, designed as a trusted way to identify companies making a meaningful contribution to the transition to a low-carbon future. Building on this, its implementation is expected to deliver positive impact on multiple fronts. For Hong Kong, it complements the city's well-established sustainable bond and loan market, ESG disclosure requirements and other sustainable finance infrastructure, and will continue to support Hong Kong's development as an international centre for sustainable finance and promote the adoption and integration of the Hong Kong Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance into capital markets practices. For companies, the designation serves as a standardised, exchange-endorsed green "entry ticket": it helps them enter the sustainable equity universes of overseas pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and other long-term institutional investors that apply strict screening rules, and turns their green narratives from "self-statements" into facts verified by independent third parties, reducing information asymmetry and building credible green brand reputation. The assessment process is also a systematic look-through review of a company's green business, and its findings and data can directly support ESG reports and climate-related disclosures, align with the adoption of the ISSB Standards, and reduce the time and cost of cross-border green financing. For investors, built on quantitative thresholds and independent third-party review, the designation enhances the visibility and transparency of designated companies, strengthens investor confidence, and provides a standardised, verifiable reference for identifying companies engaged in environmentally sustainable economic activities, helping to guard against greenwashing risks.

CCXGFI has long ranked first in the second party opinion (SPO) market for Chinese offshore green bonds. With deep experience in green bond and sustainability bond assessment and certification for Hong Kong-listed companies and Chinese issuers expanding overseas via Hong Kong, and well versed in the three mainstream green taxonomies of Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and the European Union, it offers full-chain capabilities spanning debt-side green assessment and equity-side green entity designation. Leveraging the synergy between its equity and debt assessment capabilities, CCXGFI provides Hong Kong-listed companies, pre-IPO applicants and other non-listed companies with full-process services — including classification of business activities, measurement of green revenue, green investment and fossil-fuel exposure, and ESG compliance review — and issues assessment reports that meet HKEX's requirements.

Mr. Yang Junhao, CEO of CCXGFI, said: "The HKEX Green Equity extends the application of green taxonomies from the bond market to the equity market, completing an important piece of Hong Kong's sustainable finance toolkit. With our long-standing track record in offshore green bond SPOs and ESG services for Hong Kong-listed companies, being admitted to HKEX's first cohort of Recognised Reviewers is both a market opportunity and a profound responsibility. We will fully leverage our integrated equity and debt assessment strengths to deliver credible and comparable professional assessment outcomes for Hong Kong issuers and global investors, supporting the high-quality development of Hong Kong's sustainable finance ecosystem."
