Commitments to ESG

As a well-established financial institution with a long history in Hong Kong, Dah Sing Financial Group (DSFG or the Group) is strongly committed to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, recognising that long-term business success is dependent on our relationship with all our stakeholders, both internally and externally, and that adopting responsible management practices is essential. The Group believes that ESG is about achieving commercial success in ways that honour ethical values and respect people, communities and the natural environment.

Business today is not just about making money. Expectations of corporate behaviour go beyond legal or regulatory requirements. The business licence to operate is given, perhaps not explicitly, but nonetheless effectively, by the communities in which we work. Without stakeholders such as customers, staff, suppliers or investors, what is any business worth? Business depends as much on the community infrastructure that enables key stakeholders to function as it does on capital and material assets. It is inconceivable that in the long term a business entity can enhance shareholder value unless it is dedicated to retaining and developing its customer and employee relationships.

To be successful in carrying out ESG strategy, we strive to embed socially responsible values throughout our organisation, influencing our day-to-day operations.
