Important Notes:

The government funding under the Scheme as mentioned above is applicable to the Second Cohort (base on Hong Kong practice – July and August 2023) and the Fourth Cohort (base on Hong Kong practice – March to May 2024) only.

The First Cohort (February to April 2023) is not applicable for government funding because it was launched in late 2022 (before the commencement of the Scheme).

The Third Cohort (base on Chinese mainland and other practice – October and November 2023) has covered the Mainland ESG practices and sharing (in addition to the Hong Kong Listing Rules requirements). Since the contents are not same as the Second Cohort, government funding under the Scheme is not applicable to the Third Cohort.
