OneConnect's 2022 Environment Social and Governance Report
As a significant development topic during China's "14th Five-Year Plan," corporate green development has become a key force in accelerating comprehensive green transformation and promoting high-quality economic growth. On April 24, OneConnect Financial Technology officially released its first "2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance Report" (referred to as the "ESG Report"). This report comprehensively showcases the company’s practices and achievements in environmental, social, and corporate governance dimensions for the year 2022.
In recent years, China's domestic economy has rapidly transitioned towards an innovation-driven economy centered on "sustainable development," and the concept of ESG has increasingly become one of the core topics of concern both domestically and internationally. Against the national strategic backdrop of achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality, OneConnect Financial Technology has integrated ESG principles into its corporate development strategy, focusing on sustainable industry development and actively fulfilling its social responsibilities.
The report reveals that OneConnect Financial Technology has actively explored and innovated development models in several areas: ESG governance, promoting stable operations, serving the real economy, achieving industry-wide wins, maintaining a people-centric approach, deepening green operations, and actively engaging in public welfare. Through the power of technology, the company has carved out an innovative development path of "Technology + Business + Green," fully demonstrating its high level of social responsibility and potential for sustainable development as a financial technology enterprise listed on both U.S. and Hong Kong stock exchanges.
Shen Chongfeng, Chairman and CEO of OneConnect Financial Technology, stated that as a commercial technology service provider to financial institutions, OneConnect continues to explore innovative applications of technology in finance-related fields and scenarios. By leveraging technology to aid in the digital transformation of the financial industry, the company actively supports the development of green finance, ensuring sustainable growth for both the industry and itself.
